Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI), the exhibition for air, land and sea applications of defence and security products and equipment, is to take place on 10 – 13th September 2013 at ExCeL London.
This will provide a forum to examine the pioneering skills and technologies that are currently being developed in other sectors and applied to defence.
The high-performance electronics and engineering skills demonstrated in motorsport have long been adapted for use on the frontline. From airbags to generators and data systems to unmanned systems propulsion technology, much of what is developed for military purposes today derives from the automotive industry’s established expertise.
While maintaining its focus on traditional platforms and equipment, DSEI will also highlight the advanced technological manufacturing base found in other industries – providing a broad range of companies with a valuable platform to present their products to customers not just in the UK but from key markets around the world.
Following a successful introduction at the last event, the Motorsport Pavilion at DSEI 2013 will provide an important focal point of the potentially life-saving technology that this sector offers the defence industry. Drawing on the fast turnaround techniques employed by motor racing teams, for example, can guide the development of high performing equipment for Urgent Operational Requirements. The pavilion will be held for the second time in partnership with the UK’s Motorsport Industry Association (MIA).
