Who is attending Soldier Technology and why? |
Right now, soldier programme managers from NATO nations including UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the US are preparing to use Soldier Technology (London, 7-10 June) to source lighter, longer lasting power sources for their dismounted soldiers.
This give you the best opportunity of the year to find out what they’re thinking and to show them how you can help.

What the military have told us they want: |
The feedback we received from MoD soldier programme managers during our research for Soldier Technology and onsite at January’s event in Arlington, USA, shows that:
| The military want greater visibility on innovative power technologies from a more diverse array of possible providers - especially when these providers are able to demonstrate the advantages of their technology from existing commercial and / or military applications.
There is increasing urgency to accelerate the incorporation of innovative technologies to theatre by engaging directly with smaller vendors. With the US DoD aiming for 50% fossil fuel dependency by 2013 and just 5% fossil fuel dependency by 2020, for example, that’s a big undertaking which requires radically different approaches to these enduring challenges. Other nations are setting similar goals. |
The Case for Soldier Technology UK |
The UK MoD is targeting an Integrated Power Architecture with universal voltage(s) with common connectors and a better power delivery system which would make significant impact in burden reduction leading to improved agility and hence soldier system effectiveness.
The UK is taking a systematic approach to the acquisition of capability for the soldier system by:
Capturing the capability required in a more succinct and usable format through a comprehensive Capability Plan owned by CAP GM and DINF. R&D Goals should flow directly from this plan.
Undertaking more of the Operational Analysis at a Soldier System level – the platoon. This will allow a direct comparison of capabilities across the soldier system in order that a better Balance of Investment can be achieved – limited resources giving optimal delivery of ‘bang for buck’.

The How System Integrators are Responding |
With power and battery technologies developing so rapidly, even the largest system integrators know that they can’t afford to ignore the progress being made beyond their own R&D labs. They are now actively seeking partnerships with innovative companies who could benefit from their vast experience of developing capabilities for the military and support them in doing so.
We’re adding to our list of our attendees every day but just some of the key figures from major power vendors and system integrators attending Soldier Technology in June include:
