12 Dec 12. New Reset Conference for 2013. Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1 Birdcage Walk, Westminster, London SW1H 9JJ. Military vehicles: Resetting and upgrading. One-day seminar. 9 April 2013. Hilton Bristol Hotel. Further information and bookings: www.imeche.org/events/S1761. Resetting and upgrading is a cost-effective solution to regenerating military vehicle stock. Many vehicles are operating beyond their original design parameters as a result of carrying extra armour and heavy usage. This accelerates mechanical fatigue and compromises the structural integrity and safe operation of the vehicles. This one-day seminar will bring together the defence industry involved in resets and upgrades and the MoD to discuss the latest resets/upgrades, and the challenges and solutions in these important on-going projects.

It is the first international operation for Supacat, whose special operations vehicles are used by the Australian Defence Force and other elite land forces around the world. The Australian Army has used Supacat’s High Mobility Transporter (HMT), a light to medium load carrier, since 2009. Known as the Nary, the HMT was specially designed for off-road use by Special Forces. A prototype of the next generation HMT Extenda will soon be delivered by Supacat to the ADF for evaluation, under JP2097 Phase 1B. Supacat’s new facility will provide logistics support to the existing Nary fleet as well
