KMI Media Group Publications Mission Statement KMI Media Group is the leading independent publisher of targeted magazines regarding military requirements, technologies and operations. Serving as a unique forum for senior military and Department of Defense leadership, KMI focuses on distinct and essential communities within the defense market. KMI offers by far the largest and most precise distribution for your advertising within critical market segments. With a sharp editorial focus coupled with pinpoint accuracy and depth of circulation, KMI offers the most powerful and cost-effective way to reach the audience that procures and deploys your systems, services, products and equipment.

Editorial Focus KMI publications are the only magazines dedicated exclusively to all facets of their specific target audiences and subjects. Articles are written in an informative, colorful and lively style for members of the U.S. Congress, top Defense and Pentagon leaders, military program managers, U. S. defense laboratories, agencies, commands, industry executives and an appropriate non-US military audience.

The editorial material is perfectly matched with our well-defined, individual decisionmaking VIP audience.

We are known for producing top communication vehicles that focus on the direction and doctrine of transformation within the armed forces as it relates to the individual subject matter. No other magazines bring these select readers the ideas and visions of the top Pentagon and government leadership like Border Security & Emergency Preparedness, Geospatial Intelligence Forum, Ground Combat Technology, Military Advanced Education, Military Communications Technology, Military Logistics Forum, Military Medical/ CBRN Technology, Military Training Technology, Navy Air/Sea PEO Forum, Special Operations Technology, Tactical ISR Technology and U.S. Coast Guard Forum. Leaders and decision makers trust our publications, knowing we supply the best communication tools they have to deliver their messages to the right readership, as shown by our past and projected interviewees. Our number one priority is total commitment to our readership and our advertisers.
