defence capability with parties who are prepared to develop and use in
cooperation their capabilities. Networking allows for both international political
support and military compatibility required for giving and receiving
assistance. International networking develops also the
cost-effectiveness of materiel acquisitions and security of supply and
creates opportunities for industrial cooperation as well as cooperation
in research and technology. On a deeper level, international networking
results in developing and deploying joint capabilities.
