Launched last year, the International Armoured Vehicles exhibition was a sell-out success and saw over 2,000 visitors join us
during the 2 days. The 2011 exhibition will be even bigger with vehicle manufacturers including Force Protection, Hatehof,
Iveco Defense Vehicles, Oshkosh Defense and Nexter. Taking place alongside our sector-leading conference, it provides a
fully integrated exploration of armoured vehicle capabilities and the operational context in which they must perform.
With over 150 exhibitors, this is the largest ever international gathering solely dedicated to the armoured vehicle community,
providing a unique location for military delegations from over 46 nations to gain hands-on experience of vehicles and the
full range of technology that enables their operational performance. From armaments to situational awareness, protection to
mobility, maintenance to communications, the full range of sub systems and components are represented by the world’s most
experienced vendors.

A STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT OF THE IED THREAT
Lieutenant General Tom Metz (Ret’d), Former Director,
Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organisation (JIEDDO), US DoD
An armoured vehicle warrior by trade, Lieutenant General Metz returned from Command
in Iraq to head up JIEDDO, the world’s largest ever effort to counter IEDs. Investing vast sums of
money he oversaw the most innovative efforts imaginable to protect soldiers lives and improve
survivability. His experience in this field is beyond vast and here he presents his unique and
incredibly informed assessment of the IED threat and the role that armoured vehicles have in
saving lives and succeeding in our missions.
