In 1994 RTC Media approached Defense Secretary, Perry to assist with the launch of a publication based on his theory that the defense market would be best be served by commercially available products.  COTS Journal evolved with the time to include a strong web presence  to serve the industry both being state-of-the-art and more economical than custom solutions.  Today, COTS Journal has grown into a widely used outlet to market, educate and sell defense based systems.  Having a unique editorial focus on system architectures that meet the increasing demands of SWAP (Size, Weight and Power), COTS Journal stands alone in servicing defense engineers looking to stay current on products and technologies.
