Description
The premier event for military and industry experts to exchange their achievements, challenges and solutions in the field of survivability and protective equipment for the dismounted soldier, Soldier Survivability and Personal Protection, returns for the third annual gathering.
The event will broadly focus on the overriding challenges confronting armed forces in the area of personal protection:
Better protect soldiers from projectiles and blast trauma: How are the US Naval Research Laboratory developing and employing multifunctional materials in body armour
Enhance the performance of the dismounted soldier in theatre: Learn from the USMC s evolutionary developments in personal equipment, improving manoeuvrability and reducing carry weight
Ensure small units are supplied in the field with what they want, when they want it: Develop your own solutions to the challenge of re-supply by applying US Army analysis on the broader concept of survivability
Understand where equipment capability gaps currently exist in protective equipment and how the UK and Turkish Armed Forces are tacking the challenges of trauma injuries and projectile impact
