Asia-Pacific - seen by most analysts as driving the future of the armoured vehicles market over the next ten years – the annual Armoured Vehicles Asia conference will take place in Bangkok, Thailand for the first time in its 9 year history.
Rapid growth of the Asia-Pacific market can be attributed to the increasing indigenous R&D activities undertaken to develop advanced designs of hybrid armored vehicles for enhanced border and maritime patrolling or ISR functions. Threats of cross-border terrorism, growing economies and subsequent increased military expenditures are driving demand for light or medium-sized armored vehicles.
Tailored to local challenges, the conference will provide a platform for the discussion of armoured vehicle deployment, procurement, cooperation, and sustainment within the Asia-Pacific - attracting commanders of mechanised and armoured infantry, acquisition specialists and security experts from across the region.
Officially Supported by the Defence Technology Institute of Thailand the meeting will take place between 30 - 31 October 2018.
