The UK land/sea defence show started this morning at the ExCel Centre in London. Bravely battling through queues for Security (not true - much easier than last time - Ed.) the Great North News Services team will be looking for the new and different. Bearing in mind everything is "ground breaking" "innovative" and even "radical", we're going to distill and reduce as much as we can. New products we've noted can be found on the next page, which will be updated through the show. Some themes will be drawn out in the next article, and we'll be on the look-out for new order announcements. And finally....at the back end of the show, we'll be reporting on why exhibitors were here, and what success will look like for them.
