In 1990 the threats of today were not envisaged.
Will this be equally true of the situation that will confront the world in the 2020s?
This highly authoritative conference will look at and assess the priorities for defence ministries and the business opportunities for those who supply defence equipment.
Key topics:
• The future of warfare – what should be anticipated?
• Are we preparing ourselves to meet the main risks of the 2020s and beyond?
• What are the equipment implications?
• How can industry contribute to meeting future naval and expeditionary requirements?
• Are acquisition time spans too long and costly, and are they sufficiently flexible?
• Do the US, the UK and their allies have the correct balance of capabilities to cope with extreme uncertainty? Register before 3 August and take advantage of the discounted early-bird registration
