Past event: Future Ground Combat Vehicles 2015 Conference

Next Generation Mobility, Protection, and Lethality

For years, the "Big Five" were the mainstay of our Military's combat formations. They were big. They were deadly. Now they are getting old. With today's constrained fiscal environment, creating multiple new heavy vehicle portfolios- similiar to the JLTV and AMPV- are extraordinarly difficult to achieve and funding is inconsistent from year to year. The solution? The Feasible Four. The Feasible Four include the GMV, the LRV, Stryker Lethality Upgrades, and the MPF. These are the upcoming vehicle portfolios that have been identified as the solution to growing capability gaps with the combat formations. Combined with advancements in Active Protection Systems, Directed Energy Weapons, and next generation combat engines and transmissions; these portfolios will be the foundation of the Military's Future Ground Combat Vehicles

Join us as we delve into a variety of topics in a relaxed setting with the sole goal of providing you with the information you need to continue interacting with the ground vehicle community. The only thing missing is you.


Major Topics include:

  • Strategic Importance of Combat Ground Vehicles on the Battlefield
  • The Future Fighting Vehicle
  • Implementation of Enhanced Electronic Warfare Systems
  • Potential Stryker Offensive Upgrades
  • Future Requirements of Ground Combat Vehicles

Whether you are a Military Leader, a Industry Expert, or an enthusiast, THIS EVENT HAS SOMETHING FOR YOU!
