Identify unknown equipment and assess capability
GDC up to date equipment profiles, including imagery, specifications and analysis, enable you to identify and differentiate between weapons, systems and variants and conduct critical all-source analysis and reporting. Janes specific, structured and consistent nomenclature and terminology and the ability to apply a range of data points including types, roles, specifications and operators in a guided manner, speeds data discovery by quickly narrowing the field of possible matches. Comparison tools enable you to identify the comparative and contextual capability of a weapon system or platform.
Land
From small arms ammunition to strategic air defence systems, GDC land equipment content is the world’s preeminent source of granular content on land platforms, weapons and systems. Equipment profiles cover development, status, specifications and descriptions of equipment at the variant level.
Sea
Structured data, including specifications, inventories and item-to-item linking, presented in a variety of formats and employing both online and offline tools, are a critical component to any operator or analyst, ashore or afloat, trying to navigate the complexity of the global maritime environment.
Air
GDC covers every manned aircraft in the world, civilian and military, currently in production or development. We track upgrade programmes closely and maintain data on most propulsion systems, avionics, C4ISR systems and air-launched weapons and countermeasures. Our structured data allows operators and analysts to quickly identify by variant platforms, track inventories and assess capabilities and limitations to support military assessments and market opportunities.
