Image:Jdw logo1.gif Jane's Defence Weekly (abbreviated as JDW) is a weekly magazine reporting on military and corporate affairs. It is one of a number of military-related publications named after John F.T. Jane, an Englishman who first published Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships in 1898. It is a unit of Jane's Information Group, which is now owned by the Woodbridge Company.
JDW's chief competition comes from the publication Aviation Week & Space Technology. However, that magazine is limited in scope to the aerospace industry.
