2. Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability 2018
www.favsurvivability.com
Dear Colleague,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join us at Future
Armoured Vehicles Survivability 2018, taking place from the
13th - 15th November, in London.
As the sole conference of its kind exclusively dedicated to this
fundamental component of our core manoeuvre capability,
Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability 2018 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 this 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
architecture.
Last year’s event saw over 150 like-minded individuals
convene in London to realise this common goal, with General
Dynamics, Leonardo, Raytheon, IMI Defence, Rafael, Soucy
Defence, Rheinmetall, ARTEC and Pleora being just some of
the technical leaders to lend their support.
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 complex 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 2018 to participate
alongside an array of likeminded international experts to
realise this common goal.
Yours Sincerely,

3. FUTURE ARMOURED VEHICLES SURVIVABILITY 2018
PRE-CONFERENCE FOCUS DAY l 13th November 2018
Maximising Development and Integration of Active Protection Systems
9:00 am – 5:00 pm | 13th November 2018 | Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, UK
Chaired by Mr. Tom Newbery, Active Protection Research Technical Authority, Platform Survivability Group, DSTL, UK MoD
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 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 13th and building on the fruitful discussion of active protection systems (APS) at last year’s
Future Armoured Vehicle’s Survivability 2017, 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.

SOUCY GROUP founded in 1967 is employing more than 1,500 people through its 11 manufacturing
plants in North America and Asia. SOUCY DEFENSE is a world leader in Composite Rubber Track (CRT)
Technology, which enhances mobility, protection sustainment for Armoured Fighting Vehicles. CRTs
are up to 50% lighter than steel tracks and allow the addition of more armour and protection. CRTs
improve acceleration, top speed and breaking distance and will generate up to 70% less vibration,
thus increasing the life of ammunition and electronics and improving troop’s readiness. CRT other
added-values are up to 10dB noise reduction, which in turn improves communication effectiveness
and allows the vehicle to be stealthier at the lowest tactical level; fuel saving up to 30% because of
the reduction in rolling resistance. CRT are designed and developed to be virtually maintenance free
and to create considerable Operational and Life Cycle Cost savings.

The conference fee includes refreshments, lunch, conference papers, and access to

distribution rights by speakers. Please note that some presentations may not be available
for download. Access information for the document portal will be sent to the e-mail
address provided during registration. Details are sent within 24 hours post conference.
Payment: If payment is not made at the time of booking, then an invoice will be issued and must
be paid immediately and prior to the start of the event. If payment has not been received then
credit card details will be requested and payment taken before entry to the event. Bookings within
7 days of event require payment on booking. Access to the Document Portal will not be given
until payment has been received.
Substitutions/Name Changes: If you are unable to attend you may nominate, in writing, another
delegate to take your place at any time prior to the start of the event. Two or more delegates may
not ‘share’ a place at an event. Please make separate bookings for each delegate.
Cancellation: If you wish to cancel your attendance at an event and you are unable to send
a substitute, then we will refund/credit 50% of the due fee less a £50 administration charge,
providing that cancellation is made in writing and received at least 28 days prior to the start of
the event. Regretfully cancellation after this time cannot be accepted. We will however provide
the conferences documentation via the Document Portal to any delegate who has paid but is
unable to attend for any reason. Due to the interactive nature of the Briefings we are not normally
able to provide documentation in these circumstances. We cannot accept cancellations of
orders placed for Documentation or the Document Portal as these are reproduced specifically to
order. If we have to cancel the event for any reason, then we will make a full refund immediately,
but disclaim any further liability.
Alterations: It may become necessary for us to make alterations to the content, speakers, timing,
venue or date of the event compared to the advertised programme.
