As an imperative asset within any land force, the armoured vehicle is relied upon to provide mobility, fire support and protection to personnel. However, as the operational environment has proven time and time again, these assets have proven vulnerable to an array of threats, such threats are constantly adapting. It is therefore the aim of our forth coming conference to meet these challenges head on, providing a platform for leading armoured vehicle operators, respected research institutions as well as cutting edge industry to convene and develop proactive solutions. I would ask you to pay particular attention to our conference agenda, which has been put together with great care to ensure the very best opportunities to bench mark and learn from subject matter experts, dealing with the technologies and operational doctrines at the heart of the armoured vehicle. Only through learning and networking with our peers can we enhance and improve our ideas and execution of military projects. I urge you to join us in November 2015, alongside an array of likeminded individuals to ensure that you too can benefit from this unique forum. Yours Sincerely, Major General Aguiar Santos,Pandur Mechanised Brigade Commander, Portuguese Army, Portugal Brigadier General Roberto Soria Martinez, Head of Land Systems, Spanish Army, Spain Brigadier Martin Wijnen, Commander of 43 Mechanized Brigade, Royal Netherlands Army, Netherlands Brigadier General Norbert Huber, Director of Armament and Procurement, Austrian MoD, Austria Brigadier Ben Barry, Senior Fellow for Land Warfare, IISS, UK Colonel Egbert Teeuw, Head of Ground Based Weapon Systems Division, Netherlands Defence Materiel Organisation, Netherlands Major Claus Heesakker Johansen, Armoured Vehicles Study and Development Branch, Danish Army Combat and Fire Support Centre, Denmark (sfc) Mr Dan Lindell, Platform Manager, Combat Vehicles, BAE Systems Hägglunds, Sweden Mr Stefan Lischka, Managing Director, ARTEC GMBH, Krauss Maffei & Rheinmetall, Germany Mr Bryan Vaughan, Head of Materials, Lockheed Martin, UK Mr Gary Hines, Head of Protected Vehicles, Thales, Australia Mr Robert Shaw, C-IED Advisor, UNMAS, Department of Peacekeeping Operations, United Nations Mr Mark Dean, Head of Survivability and Mechanical System Design, General Dynamics Land Systems, UK FUTURE ARMOURED VEHICLES SURVIVABILITY 2015: POST CONFERENCE WORKSHOP Countering IED Threats: Understanding the Operational Environment and Developing Proactive Solutions Hosted by: Mr Robert Shaw, C-IED Advisor, UNMAS, Department of Peacekeeping Operations, United Nations 9.00 - 12.30 Wednesday 25th November 2015, Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London Regardless of a noticeable drawdown in the direct use of land forces, the IED still offers a potentially devastating threat to mechanised forces within many strategically important regions.
