Dear Colleague,

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness, taking place from the 16th to the 17th of March in London.

As an imperative asset within any land force, the armoured vehicle is relied upon to provide mobility, fire support and protection to personnel. However, increasingly, operational requirements stemming from the 21st century’s Hybrid Warfare environment and Cyber threats dictate that the vehicle must become a greater gatherer and distributor of intelligence throughout the network. Therefore, for such capability to be enhanced, new strategies and technologies for vehicle situational awareness must continue to be explored.

Bringing together those at the forefront of vehicle systems, operation and technological development, Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness 2016 shall provide a platform for programme managers, operational flag officers from military, leading researchers and technical experts from industry, to convene, collaborate and develop solutions in this vital area. With careful consideration to ensure all key stakeholders shall be present, Future Armoured Vehicles Situational Awareness 2016 will provide the very best opportunities to bench mark and learn from subject matter experts, dealing with the technologies and operational doctrines at the heart of the armoured vehicle.

Only through learning and networking with our peers can we enhance and improve our ideas and execution of military projects. I urge you to join us in March 2016, alongside an array of likeminded individuals to ensure that you too can benefit from this unique forum.

Yours Sincerely,

Major General (Ret) Vasileios Raptis, Hellenic Army, Former Assistant Chief of Staff ACOS J6, CIS & Cyber Defence Directorate, SHAPE HQ, NATO

As the next generation of armoured fighting vehicles continue to become increasingly digitalised, infrastructure considerations must continue to be made as the platforms expectations and architecture adapts. Without such considerations, a number of associated risks can arise when integrating multiple sub-systems into the vehicles architecture and conducting through life support.

Modular and open vehicle electronics formats architectures offer a solution to the increased demand for fully networked platforms that fully seamlessly integrate weapon systems, sensors, battle management and communications.

Drawing on the lessons of the Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA), NATO GVA and the EDA LAVOSAR projects, it is the aim of our workshop to explore the strategies and technology required for success in this important area.

Achievement of the Following Advantages though a Comprehensive Understanding of the GVA• Cut the cost and associated risk of through life system integration• Reduce disruption and timelines for integration due to the

flexibility of the system• Reduced through life costs from commonality of components

and HMI• Reduction of human mental burden and training complications

due to increased interoperability and simplicity• Common vehicle service patterns reducing duplication
