That's a mobile repair shop, for tanks, trucks, armored vehicles, artillery pieces and other frontline equipment.

Basically when a vehicle is damaged or breaks down, it calls in such a repair truck - provided of course they are not under fire - and in most cases it should be possible to do the repairs on the spot or at least enable the damaged vehicle to limp further back for more intensive repairs.
Alternatively it can scrap a destroyed vehicle for workable parts to be used in other vehicles. Spare parts are always in high demand!

Yes, because DK has a considerable defense industry.
Mainly in software, components and logistic solutions as well as something as mundane as mess halls - soldiers needs to eat.
Normally this exhibition is fairly low key, but as everybody and their grandmother are expanding and upgrading their military these days it is now larger than ever - with considerable participation from foreign manufactures as well.
Joachim, as a military attache, has to stay well informed. Not least because DK and French manufactures have agreed on a cooperation. With France no doubt having the strongest military in EU.

I know that company pretty well. They develop and produce some seriously advanced gadgets, especially in regards to sensors and radar.

I'm not surprised to see that company being involved in French-Danish military development.
As a military attache, Joachim's job is also to help the Danish defense industry.
