Future Armored Vehicles Active Protection Systems USA

02/06/2022 - 03/06/2022
Arlinigton VA, USA

As armed forces continue to prioritise dealing with near-peer adversaries, and with passive protection measures reaching their physical limit, integrating advanced vehicle protection systems, and particularly active protection systems (APS), as a means of improving survivability signatures continues to grow in importance.These systems can intercept ballistic weaponry through kinetic methods (Hard-Kill) or by interfering with warhead guidance and tracking systems (Soft-Kill). As the scope of APS and its potential continues to grow, armed forces around the world increasingly pursue the development and application of an integrated, modular mission system, in which best-of-field components can be introduced and selected to meet specific requirements.

As the only conference of its kind, Future Armored Vehicles Protection Systems USA, will provide unique briefings on the development and integration of Active Protection Systems, as well as the wider vehicle protection suites employed by armed forces around the world. These briefings will include insight into Modular Systems and architecture, Hard-Kill and Soft-Kill technology, layered approaches to survivability and battle proven systems.

Military Space USA 2022

06/06/2022 - 08/06/2022
Los Angeles, California, USA

The US DOD’s space enterprise has undergone a seismic shift in the last couple of years: from the establishment of USSPACECOM and the US Space Force to the overhaul of space acquisition currently underway, the pace of change signals the DOD’s intent to remain in the ascendancy in this critical domain.

Nonetheless, significant challenges remain. US space assets are still vulnerable to enemy interference both on earth and on orbit, and an overreliance on space-based capabilities necessitate a far greater investment in resilient systems to mitigate this vulnerability. Closer to home, prohibitively long and complicated procurement processes remain a significant block to rapid capability development.

Key Reasons to Attend:

Networking Opportunities:

• Meet and network with over 150 attendees from defence agencies, militaries and governments and industry
• Over 6 hours of networking breaks, drinks receptions, dinners, and more
• Engage with an array of vendors, including disruptive space companies across the Silicon Valley and established space industry primes

Conference Features:

• Hear from an unmatched array of speakers from across the US military space enterprise, including Space Systems Command and the US Space Force
• Carefully selected topic themes, including architecture modernization, responsive launch, industry collaboration, and small satellites
• A range of key international partners, who will present their vision for future space operations in coalition
