Past event: Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness Conference

We are pleased to present the next annual conference in the sell-out portfolio of Armoured Vehicle events: Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness (FAVSA) 2023 taking place on the 24th - 25th April 2023 in London.

As the Ukraine Crisis continues, the focus of modern warfare is increasingly shifting from the asymmetric counter-insurgency operations of the early 21st-century towards near-peer conflict. As a result, the retention and maintenance of overmatch capabilities is more prevalent than ever, and the battlefield experiences of troops in Ukraine has provided us with priceless real-world experience as well as a greater appreciation of the value of real-time information.

Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness returns for its 7th year to proactively discuss crucial developments, calling on the experience of military programme managers, operational commanders and leading engineers in the market. FAVSA 2023 will also notably delve deeper into the role of industry, inviting technical leads, platform managers and programme directors to share their insights on the latest systems and sub-systems, providing greater awareness of existing capabilities and future requirements.

The only conference of its kind exclusively dedicated to armoured vehicle situational awareness, will hone in on key topics surrounding: Generic Vehicle Architecture, the use of UAVs, SatNav and Smart-equipment and the Cognitive Burden.
