Summary/Abstract: This paper brings into the readers’ attention the importance of the technical and technological dimension of the security and defence. The first part of the paper refers to the dynamic of the international security environment, bringing into discussion the dilemma of national vs. multinational in countering the current risks and threats. No matter if solid arguments can be brought in order to support any of the ways currently looked upon as adverse, national or multinational, it is certain that regardless the development of one state requires cooperation in the technical and technological field. There are numerous and ambitious plans of developing military capabilities for combating current risks and threats, but the aim of this paper is to illustrate the way in which present technology may come in support of the identified needs. This paper is pointing at a certain technique’s capacity of adjustment to the needs, the adaptive character of the initiatives, their final aim and their efficiency. The secret of a good further development of international security and defence environment consists in increased inter-agencies cooperation (NATO-EU). Moreover, countering terrorism is looked upon with increased precaution by most of the international or regional security organizations. In this field, two elements can be identified as essential: cooperation (exchange of data and information and joint actions) and technological dimension.
