On September 14 – 17 London has become the center of the defense industry, hosting one of the most prestigious exhibitions – Defense and Security Equipment International(DSEI). Defense giants such as BAE System, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Thales and smaller and iconic companies from 50 countries were present. Such events are always a reflection of the general geopolitical mood in the global community. By the example of exhibition items it is possible to trace the main defense trends and the focus of attention of the main players in security issues. A common vector for most manufacturers is the development of technologies using artificial intelligence. AI now helps to analyze data, control unmanned systems and helps automate other routine tasks aimed at increasing the combat effectiveness of military forces. Special attention is being paid to communication and control systems for more secure data transmission and coordination of military operations. Obviously, this problem is one of the critical issues in modern conflicts.
“We see that geopolitical tensions in the world are growing rapidly. Last year’s British withdrawal from the European Union, relations between the United States and other NATO partners, the speed and scale with which China is building up its military power, rapidly modernizing its army, Russia’s increased military activity on its borders with Ukraine – all of this suggests that the threat of large-scale military conflicts in the world are not just empty words. State security and the combat effectiveness of the armed forces are more relevant today than ever before.” – AKM Group-CZ.
DSEI 2021 once again confirmed its reputation as the most important event in the defense industry, which sets the tone in the field of protection and security on a global level. For AKM Group-CZ, the exhibition has become a useful source of new knowledge, new business partnerships and a quality immersion in current weapons trends for the sake of even more successful future projects and contracts.
