| Exhibition on Special Operations Forces The sixth biannual Conference of National Armaments Directors (CNAD) exhibition will be held at NATO Headquarters on the 25 and 26 October 2006, in parallel with the fall 2006 CNAD meeting. The exhibition, called "Special Operations Forces – A Strategic Enabler", will focus on emerging technologies and new equipment that can be used for the support of Special Operations Forces (SOF). With their specialized skills, versatility and effectiveness in contemporary conflicts, SOF have in recent times gained prominence. Operating as small, readily deployable units that capitalize on speed and surprise, they can operate independently or in support of conventional forces. Their unique skills, training and scalable capabilities provide decision-makers with the ability to tailor responses accordingly - a critical capability, given the dynamics of today's international security environment. For this reason, the CNAD exhibition "Special Operations Forces" seeks to encourage close cooperation among Allied industries, research and technology institutions and military authorities. It provides companies the possibility to present their most innovative concepts and designs for SOF, and serves as a forum to exchange ideas and know-how between companies, the National Armaments Directors as well as NATO staff and national delegations. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Exhibition News :: home page |
