Summary/Abstract |
With the start of the 21st century, the armed forces in Asia and Europe have been facing new demands as a result of radical changes in the security situation. In the foreseeable future, it is extremely unlikely that mentioned states will be threatened existentially by large - scale aggression using conventional means. Yet, safeguarding security and stability in both regions after the end of the Cold War and the need to meet global commitments for more exacting international conflict prevention and crisis management are leading to new tasks and demands placed on the Armed Forces.

Slovakia has a large defence industry but few aerospace firms. The Slovak defence industry focuses on the design, development and manufacture of ammunition and artillery systems, armoured combat and transport vehicles, short- and long-range radar and navigation systems, and mine-clearing equipment. Although some Slovak defence companies have successfully exported their defence produts to Western Europe and North America, domestic and regional customers continue to be the primary clients for the Slovak defence industry.

Summary/Abstract |
Whether military nanotechnology is science fiction or fact depends on where you look on the broad spectrum from materials with engineered nanoscale structures to self-replicating virus-like killer robots. The former are with us now, while the later remain in the feverish dreams of enthusiasts and prophets of doom. And there is much in research and development in between.

Summary/Abstract |
The special operations vehicle concept derives from types used by the British SAS and Australian SASR, completely un - armoured vehicles relyingon stealth and speed for protection. Such vehicles allow quick egress for crews, maximum awareness, and ease of weapons use (personal and flexibly - mounted). Recent month and years have been a plethora of new vehicles derived from existing military designs, hijacked from other worlds, such as forestry and extreme off-road motor sport, or design specially for Special Operations Forces (SOF) mossions.
