Today’s soldier is vulnerable to new and complex threats in today’s 24 hour war which is brought live into our living rooms by a 24 hour media often embedded with forces in the front line. In this asymmetric warfare scenario the soldier on the ground not only has to deal with his enemy in bad weather, poor light, and darkness, he also has to liaise with coalition governments, local security and Homeland Security organisations and the media. These requirements require multi-lingual and multi-cultural disciplines which is not a natural function of the soldier of today. He also has to fight an amorphous enemy whose major tactic is to merge into civil populations in dense urban areas.
The conference, chaired by Peter Varnish O.B.E., is divided into two half days managed by the DMA with the support of BATTLESPACE, will discuss the current night vision requirements on the ground and the technology available from industry.
