Our aim is to provide a service to the defence and related industries throughout the world by offering their purchasing managers easy access to the most pro-active suppliers of British products and services.

We list over 5000 companies and they may select various levels of participation in our site.
The basic entry is free of charge and comprises company name, telephone and fax numbers, email and web site addresses plus up to four contact names.
A bold entry is identified by a blue spot highlight and a larger company name.
A company may select to add its own logo to the bold listing.
A full internet package comprises the logo and highlighted name, live email and website links, plus an extended listing describing the company's products, services and trade names and giving a brief company description.
In addition, many participants in the British Defence Equipment Catalogue have chosen to show their Catalogue entries online. These are indicated by a symbol placed next to their company entry or name.

Our editor allocates terms for each company from the data supplied to us, so that its products and services can appear in the product and services indexes. These terms e.g. Armoured mine-clearing vehicle are also shown under all permutaions e.g. Mine-clearing vehicle, armoured and Vehicle, armoured mine-clearing.
If a product or service cannot be found, try looking for a generic term e.g. for resistors try electronic components. It would also be helpful to look in the Services index for suppliers (distributors, wholesalers or retailers) of the product.

We asked each company to suggest what NATO Stock Classifications applied to its products. Our index lists all the 2-digit NATO Supply Groups. Selecting one will show any notes about the group and what is included or excluded. We then list all the 4-digit Classifications within that group. Selecting one will bring the user to a page showing any further notes, inclusions and exclusions from the classification and listing all companies who have told us that they supply products under that classification.
