Held in conjunction with Future Artillery Middle East 2009 event

Developing advanced capabilities for the combat soldier to enhance response and operational efficiency

As modern battlefields continue to become more multifaceted and lethal, and armies have to face non-traditional combatant forces, nations are trying to build up “soldier modernization programmes” that seek to equip the dismounted soldier with every conceivable piece of electro-optical equipment to enhance their response and operational efficiency. However, over-equipping the soldier is too costly and may prove to be counter-productive.

Soldier Modernisation Middle East 2009 will discuss the proven strategies, the select tools and the latest cutting-edge technology necessary to develop advanced capabilities for the combat soldier through highlighting key findings from Europe, USA, Asia and the Middle East.

The highly comprehensive agenda will also discuss the lessons learnt and highlight the advanced systems and components in five segments: C4I, lethality, mobility, survivability, and sustainability.

You can also look forward to receiving onsite demonstrations from exhibitors showcasing their latest products and solutions including head-borne system, night vision, hand held devices and digitised rifle etc at our exclusive product showcase.

2009 Agenda

Through updates on renowned soldier modernization programmes across USA, Europe, Asia and industry presentations, find out how you can:

• Balance combat capability requirements and functionality for enhanced performance
• Conduct a cost and benefit analysis of latest components, equipment and technology
• Gain insights on some of the best equipment to invest. Also understand the rationale behind its success i.e. the extent of its scalability, upgradability and functionality
• Develop a systems approach to maximise C4I capabilities: How do you look beyond subsystems and reshape basic component perimeter to develop system capability requirements?
• Increase your mobility and sustainability by investigating the latest power run systems
• Prepare for future planning through insights on state of the art technology and equipment
