Senior MoD Figures Debate UK Army's Future Capabilities

摘要

Thirty senior UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) figures attended a Land Forces Event, hosted by Roke and Chemring EOD to debate the Army's future capabilities. Under the new MoD Capability Action Plan, UK Defence Forces' front line command is now responsible for the specification and purchase of equipment. The event focused on new military capability technology developments, including a debate led by Brigadier Simon Deakin, director army force development for the British Army, discussing the UK Army's future acquisition of research and development services. More than 30 demonstrations of innovative technologies, currently in use and under development, were showcased. These included counter-IED technologies, a virtual simulator to evaluate future technology concepts, Electronic Warfare systems, full-motion video to track ground movement, and under-vehicle scanning.
