The largest tri-service exhibition ever took place at Excel, Docklands London in September 2007 and was attended by over 25,000 mostly military personnel. The fifth event of its kind, DSEi included 27 international pavilions, on-site conferences and 6 naval vessels moored immediately outside. The international fleet of warships is easily the single greatest attraction of the show. DefenceIntegration.org was there and will be so again this September for this incredible show which previews the latest tri-service technology, fusing docklands warships with land vehicle displays throughout Excel, London, overlooking the whole site of the Greenwich docklands is the Royal Observatory Greenwich, home of timekeeping technology and subject of DefenceIntegration.org's review at http://www.defenceintegration.org/di-summer-2008/23.html
Meanwhile back in the halls amongst the army exhibitors protective clothing featured heavily, chemical and biological warfare clothing was on show at the W.L. Gore stand - as in Gore-Tex. The stand is pictured right with Jonas Andersson and Anika from DefenceIntegration.org In aerospace, Gore's cables and cable assemblies have been used system developers worldwide to power a wide variety of fuel cell systems in stationary, portable and transportation applications. In aerospace, Gore's cables and cable assemblies have been used successfully in more than 70 satellite programs. Gore cables have gone to Mars in NASA rovers and to the moon in seismographic equipment. When woven into the outer layer of astronauts' space suits, Gore fibers resist degradation
