Asian Games in Qatar increases the need for security
Qatar is hosting the 15th Asian Games which will be held in December 2006, and the Qatar government is allowing considerable investment in security equipment. In addition Qatar, situated in the heart of the Middle East, is today a strategic crossroads at both an economic and an industrial level. The country's gas reserves are estimated to contain 12 % of the world's total reserves. Demand for security equipment is thus rising. Qatar is considered by many as the Gulf state with the best economic growth potential.

Several Security areas covered
The countries of the Middle East have more than ever targeted needs with regards the protection of people and property:

- Security of land and maritime borders, mobility adapted to the zone.

- Equipment for the Police and special forces.
- VIP Protection.
- Optimum security of sites linked to the exploitation of oil, gas, nuclear power.
