Live Soldier Procurement Opportunities

Soldier Technology conference is meeting place for national government soldier modernisation programme managers to network with the industry and resolve their challenges through smarter investments and partnerships.

Target exhibitors for 2012

Based on feedback from military and industry working on active and upcoming soldier modernisation programmes, we are particularly seeking innovative vendors in the following categories to display soldier systems and equipment for the future soldier:

	Power / batteries
	Weapons / arms
	Radios, connectors and communications
	Optics

New and existing market regions opportunities

With defence budgets being squeezed and increasing competition for fewer contracts, acquisition processes are being streamlined to ensure future partnerships are truly two-way.

The good news for the soldier modernisation community is that large-scale capital projects are being sidelined in favour of smaller ones that pose less risk.
