Within the Central and Eastern European region, the land forces environment continues to receive renewed attention, the likes of which have not been seen since the end of the Cold War. This has been reflected in large scale international exercises to boost readiness, as well as the individual efforts of NATO member states to enhance their respective capabilities, through procurement and training.
As a key enabler of manoeuvre, protection, fire support and C4I and the mainstay of any future ground operation, the combat vehicle must be kept front of mind. This focused meeting for the mechanised community and broader land domain, will aim to proactively discuss the tactics and technologies that will enhance future combat vehicle effectiveness.
With particular focus on the collaboration between military, research and industry,
Future Armoured Vehicles Central and Eastern Europe invites not only programme managers, capability directors and operational commanders from the armed forces, but also ensures the lead engineers, chief scientists and platform managers from the leading solution providers are present.
This technical focus will aim to further cover the core areas of the combat vehicle, ranging from survivability, armour and active protection to anti-armour weapons, communications and systems integration. In addition, key updates from military programme managers, operational commanders and land force planners will provide an overview of the current operational environment, training, areas for capability development and practices for test and evaluation.
