defence industry conferences of the year --  (June 12 -16) \u003cbr/\u003eFrom guns that shoot around corners to the latest in  armoured vehicle technology, 1,100 companies from around the globe are showcasing the most advanced tools for warfare and defence.\u003cbr/\u003eCompanies from 45 different countries are in Paris showing off, and hoping to sell, the latest in cutting edge military and defence technology.\u003cbr/\u003eThis year's Eurosatory international exhibition is one of the biggest defence industry conferences of the year. \u003cbr/\u003eApart from big sales, this year's Eurosatory showcases advances in digital and networking technology which is used in equipment like unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, that expand battlefield information and channel it to the soldier on the ground. \u003cbr/\u003eMany exhibitors also showed off new types of weapons, vehicles, robots and lighter and more reinforced armour that has been adapted to fight the type of warfare underway in Iraq and Afghanistan. \u003cbr/\u003eSagem Defence Security, a leading European manufacturer of defence electronics and security, is displaying its cutting edge FELIN dismounted soldier system. \u003cbr/\u003eUsing the latest in digital voice, data, image, video and global positioning system, the FELIN enables those inside the Armoured Personnel Carrier to share battlefield information with those in the field. \u003cbr/\u003eSagem has already been awarded a contract for the system by the French defence procurement agency and the company will deliver 358 pre-series systems to the French army for tests early in 2008. \u003cbr/\u003eAn Israeli company, Corner Shot, makes a gun that allows soldiers to shoot around corners by viewing targets through a monitor, and shooting from a non-exposed place. \u003cbr/\u003eRami Shaul, the company's Vice President of Research and Projects, says the tool is ideal for urban combat zones and the company has already sold hundreds. \u003cbr/\u003eIn line with keeping soldiers at a safe distance from a potential threat, I-robot showed off its unmanned land vehicle or robot which can roll over difficult terrain and is used by the military to assess and disarm improvised explosives and other dangers found in war zones. \u003cbr/\u003eThomas Ryden, I-Robot's Sales director, says three hundred of these robots are already being used in Iraq by the US military. \u003cbr/\u003ePeter Felstead, the editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, says the battle between a better armoured military vehicle versus enhanced fire power is reflected in current battles,  and so at the show itself.\u003cbr/\u003eSAAB is showcasing heavy weaponry designed to punch through tanks. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Dutch company DSM Dyneema produces a super strong polyethylene fibre material for lightweight body armour, and reinforced protection on military vehicles, ships and aircraft. \u003cbr/\u003eThis fibre material, according to Dyneema, will help protect against improvised explosive devices, assault rifles and armour piercing bullets. \u003cbr/\u003eThe company says its fibre is fifteen times stronger than quality steel, much lighter, floats on water and is resistant to moisture. \u003cbr/\u003eJoost Dubois, a DSM Dyneema manager, says it is ideal for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says that the US government has already purchased thousands of flack jackets for its soldiers made from this material, and is also using it in reinforcing its military vehicles as well.
