The magazine is published in print, e-book and PDF formats and distributed worldwide. The distribution is tailored to the highly engaged audience of Counter-IED, EOD, CBRNe, Defence, Law Enforcement, Humanitarian Demining and Security professionals and senior decision makers in government, public and private sectors.
