Graham leads Aviation Week's coverage of technology, focusing on engineering and technology across the aerospace industry, with a special focus on identifying technologies of strategic importance to aviation, aerospace and defense.
Born and educated in Scotland, he graduated in aeronautical engineering and worked in advanced design at Hawker Siddeley Aviation in the U.K. before becoming an aerospace journalist. Before joining Aviation Week in April 2008, he spent almost 30 years with weekly aerospace news magazine Flight International, most recently as Americas Editor based in the U.S.
Graham is a winner of the Decade of Excellence award for aviation journalism, and a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. He was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2018 Aerospace Media Awards.
In 2013 the Jesse H. Neal award for Best Technical Content was awarded to Graham Warwick and Guy Norris for their Advanced Propulsion feature.
Skilled at intercepting cellphone and wireless signals, the U.S. is facing new challenges as terrorists turn to “old” communications technologies to circumvent efforts to locate and target their networks. High-frequency (HF) radio, largely eclipsed by the military’s move to satellite communications, as well as bands once dominated by terrestrial television broadcasts are increasingly being used by illicit networks to avoid detection by sophisticated communications-intelligence (comint) systems.
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) has completed a U.S. Army-funded extended-endurance demonstration flight with the Improved Gray Eagle (IGE) unmanned aircraft, but procurement of the upgrade remains in the balance. The second endurance flight of the prototype IGE lasted 36.7 hr., with the aircraft carrying a signals-intelligence pod under one wing and two Hellfire missiles under the other.
Aviation biofuels is a sector moving at two speeds: quickly on the technical side of developing and approving new fuels, but slowly on the commercial side of scaling up production and reducing cost.
