From the conference floor

Article Abstract:

An informal poll saw 88% of nearly 300 delegates from 20 nations rating trade show and conference management company Shephard Group's Night Vision 2000 conference as being 'good' or 'excellent.' Thirty companies exhibited their products at the event, which featured speakers from France, Germany, Israel, the UK and US. Subjects discussed by the speakers included the need to counter the easy access to COTS NV equipment by relatively unsophisticated opponents, a comparison of IR imager evolution in the US and UK and the Hawkeye XR target sight system.

Asian potential

Article Abstract:

Asian nations may increase spending for military helicopters as result of the improvement of their economies, security concerns and questions raised whether they should become involved in peacekeeping operations which will need rapid deployment forces which will, in turn, need helicopters. The majority of Asia Pacific nations have acquired many new helicopters but they still have to replace their old and ageing utility/transport aircraft in the medium and long term.
