If you are looking for informative, insightful and educational military tech websites, you've come to the right place. Here are the 20 best military technology sites online.
As you already know, there's a LOT of information out there on military technology. High-quality pages that offer a wealth of information on upgrades to weaponry, the future soldier, and even things we build - rugged military computers.
BUT we decided to feature the cream of the crop - the best of the bunch.
Whether you are a veteran, military tech enthusiast or just looking for some resources to stay informed, these websites will give you the latest & greatest updates, trends, and news you need in order to stay informed.
1. Military & Aerospace
A military computer engineer's dream. This site even includes a "Computers" section to where you can learn about the hardware in military technology that is being used on the newest gadgets. Anything from embedded computing to development kits. An engineers go-to site for military computers, cyber, sensors, RF/analog, power, communication, test, and on and on it goes.

5. COTS Journal (Commercial Off The Shelf)
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.

6. The National Interest
Founded in 1985 as a foreign policy magazine, this website took that same enthusiasm and effort to the digital world. They actively promote "the course of American foreign policy by featuring a variety of leading authors from government, journalism, and academia, many of whom may at times disagree with each other." The techy articles are a wonderful read and offer an interesting spin on what is going on in the military technology sector.

7. Naval Technology
Set up in the same, clean fashion as its sister website (Army Technology - #4), this page is all about news related to the Navy.
