Following the success of 2015's inaugural meeting, Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability returns this November, once again seeking to bring together those at the forefront of survivability development for the armoured vehicle and its occupants

With a key  focus on the technologies and concepts of operation for enhanced survivability , this unique conference focuses on the collaboration between military and industry and invites not only the programme managers and operational commanders at the forefront of armoured vehicle procurement and use, but also the lead engineers, chief scientists and technical directors from the vehicle manufacturers themselves, who create the platforms and technologies at the heart of armoured vehicle protection


Key Topics will include:

  • Feedback from operations, trials and development
  • Countering ballistic and blast threats to the vehicle, ranging from IED's to anti-tank guided missiles
  • Ensuring effective mobility and profile is maintained whilst optimizing blast protection
  • Research and development trends: New technologies and materials are coming to the attention of industry engineers
  • National programme updates from programme managers
