- 2. Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability www.favsurvivability.com Dear Colleague, It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join us at Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability 2017, taking place from the 14th-16th of November, London. As the only conference of its kind exclusively dedicated to this fundamental component of our core manoeuvre capability, Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability 2017 will be held with the aim of developing protective solutions to the array of contemporary threats posed to mechanised forces. Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability will do so by providing a platform for operational users, capability development and industry to share current requirements and experience in platform modernisation, enhancement of active/passive protection, signature management, mobility and vehicle architectures. Last year’s event saw over 150 like-minded individuals convene in London to realise this common goal, with General Dynamics, ARTEC, Rheinmetall, Nexter and Patria being just some of the OEM technical leaders to lend their support. The event provided an unrivalled insight into the technology available for military applications. This year’s conference agenda has been put together with equal care, drawing on leading experts’ thoughts and aspirations, to ensure the very best opportunities to benchmark and learn from strategy and engineering leaders. I see this conference as the ideal platform for advancement in this important area, and I would hope that we can extend the debate to explore and push the boundaries. Only through networking, sharing and learning with our peers can we develop our approaches to capability development and delivery. I urge you to join us in November 2017 to participate alongside an array of likeminded international experts to realise this common goal.

FUTURE ARMOUED VEHICLES SURVIVABILITY 2017 PRE-CONFERENCE FOCUS DAY Development and Integration of Active Protection Systems 9:00am - 5.10pm | 14th November 2017 | Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, UK Chaired by Mr Ricolt Boeschoten, Senior Test Engineer, Explosives, Ballistics and Protection, TNO An examination of the current operational environment indicates that future manoeuvre forces must be prepared to fight and win in an increasingly high threat environment. As seen even in ongoing counter-insurgency and hybrid conflicts, threats to the vehicle are increasing in both scope and size. Traditional lightly armed combatants now have access to an increasing array of anti-armour capabilities, from cost effective and lethal RPG 29, to the latest generation of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM), capable of defeating most of the passive protection available to today’s combat vehicles. Simultaneously, the threat posed by high intensity conflict and near peer adversaries has never been more credible. With both the protection and fire power of NATO’s combat vehicles now being challenged and even exceeded in certain areas, proactive measures must be taken to ensure the highest level of protection possible for combat vehicles and their crews. Taking place on November 14th and building on the fruitful discussion of active protection systems (APS) at last year’s Future Armoured Vehicle’s Survivability 2016, SMi presents a focus day exclusively dedicated to this important capability Drawing on the experience and recent activities of leading programme managers from the armed forces and national defence research, the meeting 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 standardisation 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 8.30 Registration Coffee 9.00 Chairman’s Opening Remarks Mr Ricolt Boeschoten, Senior Test Engineer, Explosives, Ballistics and Protection, TNO National Capability Development 9.10 An Update on the UK’s Approach to Developing an Active Protection Capability for Mounted Close Combat Vehicles • An overview of the requirement • APS research and development carried out in the UK to date • The UK Active Modular Integrated Protection System (MIPS) - Applying Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) principles to Active Protection Systems • Developing architecture standards that support development and integration of new technologies Mr Richard Hooper, Principle Vetronics Engineer, Platform Systems Division, DSTL 9.40 US Army Vehicle Protection Suite • Combat Vehicle Portfolio • Current Capabilities • Components of VPS • Path Forward to Fielded VPS Technologies Colonel William Nuckols, Director, Mounted Requirements Manoeuvre Centre of Excellence, US Army 10.10 Active Protection System Test, Evaluation and Future Plans within the USMC • Analysis of the future high threat environment that manoeuvre forces must be prepared to face • Collaboration with the US Army to examine APS capability • Feedback from the test and evaluation of the Trophy APS system within the M1A1 • Options available and way forward toward a viable APS solution Major Paul Kozick, Combat Development and Integration, Fires and Maneuver Integration Division, United States Marine Corps 10.40 Morning Coffee 11.10 Survivability Protection — A Look into the Future • Driving Requirements • Paradigm Shift – APS is the first step • Technology Progression • Gaps and Opportunities Mr Jeff Koshko, Associate Director, Ground Vehicle SurvivabilityProtection, Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Centre , United States Army 11.40 Session Reserved for Sponsor 12.10 Lessons Learnt from the Development and Evolution of the Iron Fist Hard Kill System • Overview of the system and its evolution • Capabilities and feedback from recent test and evaluation • Potential for integration within combat vehicle architecture Mr Rami Sokolower, Armoured Combat Systems, IMI Systems 12.40 Networking Lunch Active Protection Standards and Safety 1.40 Czech Development of the Explosively Formed Axe Hard Kill APS • The requirement for enhanced protection of the Pandur II combat vehicle from RPG’s and ATGM’s • An overview of the EFA system and sub-systems evolution and development • The Czech testing of the system in keeping with STANAG 4686 • What were the challenges and findings from the evaluations?

The core product is the Acoustic Multi-Mission Sensor (AMMS), incorporating various directional Microflown sensors, a DSP and a wind cap. An AMMS is passive, cannot be jammed, requires no line of sight (darkness, fog, dust) and also works under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain). The AMMS is low Size, Weight and Power (low SWaP). Microflown AVISA can apply its AMMS technology to a variety of uses. One the latest advancements of this game-changing technology is the Vehicle Based Acoustic Multi-Mission Sensor (V-AMMS) which was fielded with the Dutch Special Forces in 2013. The V-AMMS technology measures the direction of the hostile shooter and does not predict it, unlike other acoustic systems in the marketplace. V-AMMS masters true multi-shooting scenarios while being targeted directly. The systems provides 360 degrees situational awareness and measures the direction of the hostile shooter, to an accuracy of 1.5 degrees. www.microflown-avisa.com Military imaging system manufacturers rely on proven real-time video expertise from Pleora Technologies to help meet performance and cost demands in local situational awareness applications.
