Jane's Information Group (often referred to as Jane's) is a publishing company specializing in transportation and military topics.

[edit] History
It was founded by Fred T. Jane in 1898 who had begun by sketching ships as an enthusiast, and this gradually developed into an encyclopedic knowledge, culminating in the publishing of All the World's Fighting Ships (1898).
The company gradually branched out into other arenas of military expertise. The books and trade magazines published by the company are often considered the de facto public source of information on warfare and transportation systems.
Based in London, it is owned by IHS Inc.[1] having previously been owned by The Woodbridge Company, and previously owned by The Thomson Corporation for a number of years.
Major competitors include Defense News, Flight International, Aviation Week & Space Technology and the Shephard Group.
The company continues to provide open source intelligence in the defence, security, transport and law-enforcement sectors.
