Since the beginning of the global war on terror NBC/CBRN issues have been thrust into the public eye. It has become an increasing priority for defence forces, governmental organisations and the private sector worldwide, that they have planned for the prevention, protection, resilience and recovery of CBRN related terrorism and warfare. The importance of discussing these issues in greater detail has never been more important.
NBC International, the world’s most widely respected dedicated NBC/CBRN magazine, in conjunction with SMi Defence, is proud to bring you the premier CBRN event of 2005 - the NBC International Conference.
Bringing together world leaders in CBRN from the military arena and the private sector, the NBC International Conference will provide delegates with a tool set for dealing with conventional and non-conventional challenges, whether launched by terrorists or traditional forces.
Key issues being addressed include future requirements for CBRN protection/resilience, contingency planning, emergency management procedures, current and future CBRN threats, current military and industry capability, medical countermeasures, decontamination, detection methods and future technologies/systems available for obtaining the necessary protection and capability.
High level international presentations will give you an invaluable insight into how the UK and other countries are dealing with the threat of CBRN, detailing their policies, operational strategies, current equipment capability, and future CBRN roadmaps. Lessons learned from recent terrorism, conflict, experimentation, real-life exercises and research and development within CBRN will be illustrated and discussed to promote innovative discussion on how to successfully fill the security/capability gaps and establish best practice regionally, nationally, internationally and in a joint framework.
The NBC International Conference will consist of keynote addresses from world experts in CBRN and specific streamed sessions, allowing delegates the chance to pick and choose which topics are the most pertinent for them - ensuring value for money. Accompanying the conference will be an international exhibition, giving each delegate a chance to assess and view current and future developments in CBRN technologies, systems and equipment.
