Future Soldier Technology
Dear Colleague,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to join us at the 6th
annual Future Soldier Technology conference that will be
taking place back in London on the 9th-11th of March
2020. This community meeting serves as the world’s leading
forum for dismounted soldier and marine technology.
Focused around the key areas of dismounted capability, this
conference will allow attendees to gather comprehensive
information from technical and military experts.
As our adversaries evolve, military capability continues to
adapt to meet these new challenges. At the centre of all
military capability, the dismounted soldier remains at the
core of all operations. It is crucial therefore for nations to
equip their soldiers to retain a competitive advantage in
an increasingly wide array of missions. Soldier technology
development and integration is therefore a critical enabler
for future force enhancement.
To that end, Future Soldier Technology 2020 presents the
most relevant and current information for capability and
procurement experts to leverage for their projects. Our host
of expert speakers will present their programmes priorities,
their challenges and crucially their successes. This will
provide all attendees with a host of actionable intelligence
to take with them for their projects.
This expert conference will offer hours of dedicated
networking time providing an unmatched forum
for government, military and industry to discuss soldier
technology. I urge you to attend this meeting to learn and
contribute to the discussion of the future of dismounted
soldier systems.
I look forward to meeting you.

copthorne tara hotel, london, uK
Chaired by colonel (ret’d) richard hansen, Former Program Manager, Soldier Warrior, PEO Soldier, uS Army
As soldiers continue to be deployed across a variety diverse of theatres, modernising the warfighter’s remains a critical task
for all militaries, Today, there is significant importance placed on considering the soldier as a system – integrating wireless
communications, digital displays, and an ever-growing number of sensors to gather, disseminate, and exploit growing data
sets to maintain information superiority and full-spectrum dominance.
In a contested battlefield, blue force tracking, spatial awareness, and effective communication between friendly units remain
vitally important, whilst tracking enemy combatants across complex and degraded environments and protecting networks
through robust cyber security continue to be key to guaranteeing mission success.
In order to achieve greater situational awareness, militaries continue to utilise new equipment and technologies, often at
the cutting edge of scientific development – integrating micro-UAVs and robotic autonomous systems into the arsenals of
dismounted troops to build an effective operating picture. Ensuring effective all-weather operations through night vision and
thermal optics also remain critical for any modern defence force – as the landscapes of warfare continue to evolve.
This Dismounted Soldier Situational Awareness focus day will provide the perfect setting for technical experts, military end users,
and solution providers to share their latest developments within these spheres and build an understanding of how technologies
and equipment are being deployed. With key updates from the British Army, Canadian ISSP Programme, and a special focus
on Robotics and Autonomous Systems, this meeting remains to be an enlightening and lively forum for our esteemed panel
and attendees.

ultrAlynX
The need for improving how we fit technology and increase capability, such as situational awareness, onto the soldier is well understood.
Finding a way to reduce this burden has been the driving force behind UltraLYNX; which provides an open man-worn architecture that
enables the efficient distribution of power and data that is lightweight and scalable. UltraLYNX is a key component in the realisation of
the benefits of any future situational awareness system; Increased operational tempo, improved operational agility and effectiveness
and more efficient force application in a Combined, Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental and Multinational command (CJIIM)
organisational context. The benefits delivered by better situational awareness and more efficient power management will contribute
to reducing the cognitive and physical burden on the soldier. UltraLYNX has intelligent power management, which allows devices
to be supplied from a central power source, typically a Lithium Ion battery. This means that the use of technologies such as wireless
charging extend mission operability. Each port can individually switch power to and from the central power bus, providing the user
with control of the sources and loads that are connected. In addition, each port also provides overload protection as well as real time
monitoring of power consumed. UltraLYNX has a smart hub allowing USB device drivers and message routing to be installed locally.
This means that customisation of the End User Device (EUD) software kernel is no longer required. The EUD operates in device mode
with network connectivity being achieved via reverse USB tethering. UltraLYNX also supports applications where no End User Device is
required such as autonomous sensing or minimal user interaction. UltraLYNX provides the definitive standard for future soldier systems
that provides a truly integrated and open systems solution.

DELEGATE DETAILS
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.
