Dear Colleague,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in Future
Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness, taking place from the
16th to the 17th of March in London.
As an imperative asset within any land force, the armoured vehicle
is relied upon to provide mobility, fire support and protection
to personnel. However, increasingly, operational requirements
stemming from the 21st centuryās Hybrid Warfare environment and
Cyber threats dictate that the vehicle must become a greater
gatherer and distributor of intelligence throughout the network.
Therefore, for such capability to be enhanced, new strategies and
technologies for vehicle situational awareness must continue to be
explored.
Bringing together those at the forefront of vehicle systems,
operation and technological development, Future Armoured
Vehicles Situational Awareness 2016 shall provide a platform for
programme managers, operational flag officers from military,
leading researchers and technical experts from industry, to
convene, collaborate and develop solutions in this vital area. With
careful consideration to ensure all key stakeholders shall be present,
Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness 2016 will provide
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 March 2016, alongside an array of likeminded
individuals to ensure that you too can benefit from this unique
forum.
Yours Sincerely,
Major General (Ret) Vasileios Raptis, Hellenic Army,
Former Assistant Chief of Staff ACOS J6, CIS & Cyber
Defence Directorate, SHAPE HQ, NATO
As the next generation of armoured fighting vehicles continue to
become increasingly digitalised, infrastructure considerations must
continue to be made as the platforms expectations and architecture
adapts. Without such considerations, a number of associated risks
can arise when integrating multiple sub-systems into the vehicles
architecture and conducting through life support.
Modular and open vehicle electronics formats architectures offer
a solution to the increased demand for fully networked platforms
that fully seamlessly integrate weapon systems, sensors, battle
management and communications.
Drawing on the lessons of the Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA),
NATO GVA and the EDA LAVOSAR projects, it is the aim of our
workshop to explore the strategies and technology required for
success in this important area.
Achievement of the Following Advantages though a Comprehensive
Understanding of the GVA
ā¢ Cut the cost and associated risk of through life system integration
ā¢ Reduce disruption and timelines for integration due to the
flexibility of the system
ā¢ Reduced through life costs from commonality of components
and HMI
ā¢ Reduction of human mental burden and training complications
due to increased interoperability and simplicity
ā¢ Common vehicle service patterns reducing duplication
