We are proud to present the 4th Annual
Future Soldier Technology USA Conference, taking place on the 6th & 7th June 2023 in Arlington, VA.
As militaries reorient and modernise their combat capabilities, the dismounted soldier and marine remain critical to the success of combat operations. Major strides are being made in providing soldiers with enhanced abilities to maneuver, detect, target and defeat threats at greater ranges and speed than ever before.
Critical to mission success, soldiers’ capabilities to engage and defeat new threats has been prioritised by Army Futures Command as a critical area for development.
Future Soldier Technology USA will bring together military leaders and technical experts to address the evolving capability spectrum of dismounted technology of the US Armed Forces.
Future Soldier Technology USA is the only dedicated conference of its kind in North America and will bring a unique focus to the future of soldier systems. The conference will discuss in detail soldier lethality, power management systems, mobility, sustainability and survivability. Additionally, as soldiers and marines are increasingly integrated into an array of sensors and battlespace management systems, dismounted situational awareness is becoming a key area of overmatch capability.
Key Topics Addressed Will Include:
- Enhancing soldier lethality
- Next Generation Squad Weapon
- Advanced target acquisition systems
- Soldier sensors
- Manned unmanned teaming
- Communication systems
- Battlespace management
- Soldier sustainability
- Systems trialling and evaluation
- Synthetic training environments
- Augmented reality
