DSEI to Showcase Land, Sea and Air Capabilities to Defend Sovereign Rights

摘要

The defence of sovereign rights is a major challenge for a significant number of nations as regional tensions flare up and new threats appear. The need for military and security forces around the world to procure the platforms, systems and equipment that meet operational and budgetary imperatives is highlighted by the continued growth of Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI), the world's largest land, sea and air defence and security exhibition. The event, which takes place at ExCeL London from Sept 15-18, 2015, will feature a record of more than 1,500 exhibitors providing a global showcase of innovation. Reflecting DSEI's status as a premier forum for international co-operation and thought leadership, senior military commanders will be sharing their views on how doctrine and capabilities must be shaped to meet the demands of an uncertain future. The British Army will have a prominent presence at the show. Lt Gen Mark Poffley, Commander Force Development and Capability said, "Recent events have highlighted the need for an integrated and persistent security response across a wide spectrum of operations. The British Army is reconfiguring to meet the challenges of the contemporary security environment. An important part of this adjustment is establishing a close relation- ship with its industrial partners, seeking out innovative and relevant solutions as part of the Defence Growth Partnership and exploiting mutually beneficial agendas to defeat those who threaten our security."
