| Beth-El to combat challenges at International Armoured Vehicles Beth-El Industries will be exhibiting their new NBC-filtration product line International Armoured Vehicles taking place on the 1st to the 5th February, at the ExCel Centre, London. With operational challenges in conflict scenarios in Afghanistan ranging from new and unseen terrorist enemies, to extreme environmental conditions and terrains, force protection is now recognised as being of crucial importance to achieving operational success. New threats include a whole host of scenarios, from chemically laced roadside bombs (Chlorine IED's) to the remote and hostile environments that need to be accessed in order to rout terrorist enclaves. The nuclear, biological, and chemical threat protection systems which are currently in service, were designed specifically for the Cold War, and are proving now hugely inadequate, which further emphasises the need for a higher level of protection against these new operational challenges. The exhibition, which is taken place alongside the main conference at International Armoured Vehicles, is drawing considerable interest from the AFV community, with over 50 exhibitors signed up already. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Exhibition News :: home page |
