Dear Colleague,

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join us at Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness 2017, taking place from the 29th-30th of March, London.

As the only conference of its kind exclusively dedicated to this fundamental component of our core manoeuvre capability, Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness 2017 will be held with the aim of helping to prepare today’s mechanised and armoured forces for the challenges of tomorrow, within the broader set of C4ISTAR requirements for contemporary land operations.

Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness will do this by providing a platform for operational users and industry to share their experiences in the enhancement of situational awareness, information gathering and information sharing. We will focus in particular on the systems and sub-systems at the forefront of the delivery of situational awareness to the combat vehicle, including vetronics architectures, sensor integration, CIS and battle management.

Last year’s event saw over 120 like-minded individuals convene in London to realise this common goal, with General Dynamics Mission Systems, Rheinmetall Defence Electronics, Selex-ES, Sagem, Thales, Saab, Nexter, Patria and IAI Elta being just some of the OEM technical leaders to lend their support.

The event provided an unrivalled insight into the technology available for military applications; one key lesson was that the term ‘situational awareness’ means different things to different people! This year’s conference agenda has been put together with equal care, drawing on leading experts’ thoughts and aspirations, to ensure the very best opportunities to benchmark and learn from strategy and engineering leaders.

I see this conference as the ideal platform for advancement in this complex area, and I would hope that we can extend the debate to explore and push the boundaries. Only through networking, sharing and learning with our peers can we develop our approaches to capability development and delivery.

I urge you to join us in March 2017 to participate alongside an array of likeminded international experts to realise this common goal.

Yours Sincerely,

Brigadier (ret) Ian Cameron-Mowat, Former Head of Force Protection, UK MoD, Director, IMP Castle Associates Limited

AUDIENCE PROFILE:

Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness returns once more to proactively discuss solutions at the forefront of protection for the vehicle and personnel. With particular focus on the collaboration between military, research and industry, Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness invites not only the key programme managers, capability directors and operational commanders from the armed forces, but also ensures the participation of senior engineers, chief scientists and platform managers from the leading solution providers are present.

This uniquely technical focus will aim to further cover the core areas of situational awareness for the combat vehicle and its future role as a greater gatherer and distributor of intelligence within the network. This examination will be take place within the broader scope of contemporary requirements for enhanced land C4ISTAR, exploring the technologies required, with open vetronics architectures, communications, battle management, optronics, defensive aid suites and electronic warfare just some of the areas covered.

In addition, key updates from military programme managers, operational commanders and land force planners will provide an overview of the current operational environment, areas to channel this capability development and practices for test and evaluation of new technology.
