SMi’s 4th Annual Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability Conference, Exhibition and Focus Day returns to London between the 13th and 15th of November 2018.
As the only event purely dedicated to the area of vehicle protection, this event will deliver a strong focus on the relationship between current requirements, emerging technologies and how these might be leveraged to enhance force protection.
Building on 2017’s focus day, SMi will host an exclusive pre-conference Active Protection Systems focus day on the 13 November, dedicated to this important capability. Mr. Tom Newbery, Active Protection Research Technical Authority, Platform Survivability Group, DSTL, UK MoD will chair this meeting.

The focus day will aim to deliberate national efforts to integrate APS into existing fleets, the architectures necessary to support integration, efforts to ensure system safety, STANAG 4686 standardization and much more. Importantly, the meeting will guarantee the support of technical experts from the leading solution providers, covering the latest hard/soft kill systems, sensors, data processing, munitions, and countermeasures.
Key themes for the focus day include a discussion of future challenges, the UK National Updates, research and procurement of Active Integrated Protection Systems for British Armoured Vehicles, US Army Armoured Vehicle Protection Suite (VPS) and Modular APS, and APS developments in Germany and Turkey.
On 14th-15th November, the two-day conference will aim to further cover the core areas of survivability in detail, exploring the latest platforms, vehicle architectures, active/passive protection, mobility, counter-IED, un-manned/autonomous solutions, signature management, and stealth.
