SOFX was founded in 2014 on the principles of Trust, Integrity, and Excellence to provide high-trust information and communication services to a global community of decision-makers in the Aerospace & Defense industry. Originally started as a daily reader for the Special Operations community, SOFX has grown into the most trusted independent media brand for high-quality, apolitical reporting on armed conflict and technologies shaping the global arms trade.

As advertising-driven revenue models increasingly rely on intrusive technologies that undermine privacy, SOFX has refused to adopt invasive practices, reinforcing our commitment to protecting your data. To remain independent and uphold our mission of delivering ground truth, we’ve transitioned to a membership model, offering two exclusive tiers. Free subscribers can still access up to six full-length articles per month, while SOFX Red members directly contribute to sustaining and growing our unbiased reporting. For those seeking privacy-assured communication, SOFX Gray provides secure email services that ensure your data isn’t the product.

The advent of Artificial Intelligence and the wholesale theft of content by big tech has further strengthened our resolve. By limiting AI’s ability to harvest original content, we empower our members with news and information they can’t get anywhere else. More key decision-makers in this trillion-dollar industry rely on SOFX for their daily reporting than any other source. Staying true to the first core truth of Special Operations Forces—“Humans are more important than hardware”—we remain dedicated to putting human beings first in everything we do.
