23 Feb 12. Subject: Are you available for this year’s global meeting of soldier modernisers? You’re probably aware that although the US and British Armies plan to reduce infantry, they plan to modernise and train their force to the highest possible standard. And, you may be aware that recent figures suggest that the amount forecast to be spent on soldier modernisation could reach $802.4m this year. Specifically, the following nations have ring-fenced budget: Sweden, Poland, Netherlands and Australia. And, these countries now have defined soldier requirements and budget: Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil and Indonesia. For the reasons above, and the fact the soldier modernisation market is buoyant, Soldier Technology, the world’s largest gathering of soldier modernisation professionals, will be a critical meeting place this year. The programme managers from Brazil, Thailand and Indonesia have just confirmed that they will speak at Soldier Technology to brief on their requirements. To find out more, please request the list confirmed programmes and speakers – here.
