Past event: Armoured Vehicles Eastern Europe

Welcome to Armoured Vehicles Eastern Europe

The European armoured vehicles market is estimated to lead the world in terms of demand in the next 10 years and  the region will account for approximately a third of the global requirement.

Recent events in the Ukraine have stimulated defence spending across Eastern Europe. In the Ukraine itself, an additional 6.8 billion hryvnia ($697 million USD) has been added to the defence budget, a large proportion of which will be dedicated to mobility and weapons modernization. (Defense News, March 24, 2014)

Taking place in Warsaw, Poland, Armoured Vehicles Eastern Europe welcomes the community to the region for the first time. The event will showcase exciting acquisition and upgrade programmes in this key market. The Polish themselves are accelerating a number of procurements including a major overhaul of their light, medium and heavy armoured capabilty.

Much of the attention is focusing on a big Polish requirement for tracked and wheeled armoured vehicles. Requests for proposals are expected to emerge in the next year and the Polish  Land Forces’ armaments and experts are currently assessing the marketplace. The opportunities to partner with local industry are now key and the conference objectives include the encouragement of dialogue between international stakeholders and Polish defence industry.

Smaller requirements are also surfacing in the emerging Baltic market with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all exploring new IFV and APC options complete with advanced capability.

Regional defence cooperation is actively being promoted by the Polish and Lithuanians who are seeking to reactivate a POL-LTU-UKR battle group. This is just one of the measures being taken to strengthen military ties in the region and Armoured Vehicles Eastern Europe  welcomes international industry, military and government partners to share debate on the future threats, security issues and how the armoured vehicle will form a key component of future forces. We look forward to seeing you there.
