Platform Survivability

The world's largest survivability event across all major operating environments and platforms 

No matter what your platform or area of expertise, the challenge remains the same - evade detection, avoid engagement and survive the hit. Attendees now have the opportunity to come together to discuss the latest challenges they face within the increasingly demanding operational environment.

Platform Survivability 2010 takes a unique approach in offering four unique and leading platform specific conferences within one event. This will allow delegates to meet with individuals from across the field of survivability whilst being able to attend a conference specific to their area of expertise and operating environment. These conferences will include:

• Vehicle Survivability - Defeating the threat and keeping one step ahead
• Soldier Survivability - Developing effective equipment and training to fight and survive
• Aircraft Survivability - Enhancing survivability in modern combat theatres
• Ship Survivability - Breaking the kill chain and maximising damage control

Whether it is the latest advancements in situational awareness or an analysis on the physical defeat of the threat then this is the world’s largest event to network and discuss the latest developments in the field of survivability with an emphasis on:

• Keeping service personnel safe through innovative solutions
• Real operational insights from current operations
• Outstanding networking opportunities
