Optimising Dismounted Soldier Survivability through the Latest in Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing

Why should I attend Soldier Survivability and Personal Protection 2009?

Increases in the scale and number of attacks on allied troops in Afghanistan with IEDs, Small Arms Fire and Rocket Propelled Grenade attacks, further emphasise the dangers and threats for personnel on the front line. Challenging operational environmental conditions create additional strains on the war-fighters, as soaring temperatures and heavy burdens create problems with agility and heat exhaustion.

National forces are forced to invest in new protective equipment through Urgent Operational Requirements as the threats evolve, and are constantly seeking new solutions to help provide the weight savings and level of protection to keep troops safe.

Defence IQ’s 2nd International Soldier Survivability and Personal Protection conference balances developments in national programmes and the procurement and upgrades in Personal equipment, with analysis of the armour testing and deficiencies and cutting edge scientific developments and materials technology.
