The record
We decide within five business days, and if the answer is no we tell you which rule it failed.
We publish a record of dated events at aerospace and defense companies as we verify them: certifications, approvals, contracts, financings, facilities, appointments, product launches. If your company has published something, this is where you tell us about it.
We publish only what you have already published, so the form asks for a link, not for the announcement.
We publish only announcements you have already published yourself.
So this form asks for a link, not for your announcement.
We run a screen, we log the result, and anything ambiguous goes back to you, to be resolved by your own empowered official or export compliance officer, before we publish anything.
Do not type technical data into this form. Everything you enter here is read by us and, if we publish it, appears on a public page. If a sentence would not survive your own review for your own website, it does not belong in this box either. The form stops before it sends if it finds something that looks like technical data, shows you the words it matched, and lets you edit.
The full screening procedure is at export control screening, written for your compliance officer to read.
| We refuse | Because |
|---|---|
| A submission with no link to something you have already published | It is the rule above. Come back when it is public and we will look at it |
| An attachment of any kind | There is nowhere to put one. A press kit is the most likely way for a specification sheet to reach us by accident |
| Anything marked, or describing itself as marked, export controlled, ITAR, EAR-controlled, CUI, proprietary, confidential, distribution-limited, or under an agreement | It should not be in a public form and we will not hold it |
| Anything about a classified programme | Same |
| A submission about a company other than your own | You can send us your company's news. You cannot send us somebody else's |
| A submission from a personal email address | The work email at your company's domain is what connects you to the announcement |
Where we refuse something on export-control grounds, we delete what you sent within one business day and tell you we have. We keep only the date, your company's domain and the reason.
Seven tests, and all seven have to pass: a named aerospace or defense company, a dated event, a public source we can open, a passage we have quoted and checked against that source, a plain statement of what the event changes, published in the last thirty days, and not already here.
An opinion is not an event, and neither is an award, a rebrand, an anniversary or a piece of thought leadership.
All seven, in full, in the words a refusal will cite → /record/standards
A decision within five business days.
Publication when it clears, if it passes. It goes on the page the day the editor clears it, and we will tell you the date.
Your entry takes nobody else's place. What a company sends us is on top of what we find ourselves.
One AI-answer check, free, if you want it. If we publish your entry, you can ask us to run our published set of questions against your company and up to three competitors you name, and we will send you the answers exactly as the models gave them. The method is published here; it is the same check we run every month for companies with a channel on our titles.
Straight away. A reference number on screen and the same by email, with the date your decision is due written out.
Within five business days, one of three answers:
If anything changes later. If we correct the entry, if the publisher withdraws the announcement, or if your link stops working, we tell you on the day and we tell you what we did about it.
That is every email you will get from us because of this submission.
We are a publisher for aerospace and defense, and what we sell is a channel on our titles for your company's own announcements and your people's pieces, labelled as yours: /publish.
