MR&A covers the complete platforms, weapons and equipment inventories of every army and air force in the world, plus all missile systems, including naval and strategic, in 184 countries.

From its inception 20 years ago, MR&A was designed specifically for government agencies and industry marketing executives. Current users - in Europe, the USA, the Middle East and Asia - rate its accuracy as "outstanding."

MR&A is updated every business day, so that customers receive the very latest information when their order is fulfilled. For each item of equipment covered, data include:

	numbers ordered
	user
	supplier country
	date of contract
	value of contract (where available)
	date of entry into service
	platforms
	known losses
	major upgrades.

Data can be accessed either by country or by equipment type. In addition to providing at-a-glance details of current inventories, this enables market researchers to assess likely upcoming requirements for replacement or modernization of in-service equipment.

Size of the MR&A database now exceeds 85Mb. It is divided into 14 main equipment catalogs (e.g. Armoured Fighting Vehicles & Systems) totalling 170,000 entries. Catalogs are sub-divided into 520 equipment classes covering more than 40,000 equipment types.

MR&A is available on disk or CD-ROM either in EXCEL format or, on special request, in the OMNIS 7 program format, giving full search capabilities.

Each disk or CD-ROM is specially tailored to meet the customer's individual requirements.
