Feb. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Taking place 8th-10th May 2011 at the Armed Forces Officers Club, Abu Dhabi, Armoured Vehicles UAE will bring together the world’s most authoritative armoured vehicle experts to share their experiences and insights with key regional decision makers in the Middle East.

The United Arab Emirates has proved itself to be one of the most important emerging markets for the armoured vehicles industry, as demonstrated by the joint venture announced this week between the UAE's International Golden Group, and South Africa's Paramount Group:

"Bringing Paramount's systems to the Middle East in partnership with IGG very much reflects the realities of current global politics which are driving armed forces and governments to plan for future conflict by sourcing new generations of vehicles to answer the changing threats they face", Ivor Ichikowitz, Executive Chairman of the Paramount Group said when announcing the joint venture.

The Armoured Vehicles UAE conference will offer expert insight and analysis into the region's current capabilities and future requirements, as well as explore cutting-edge armoured vehicle programmes and solutions, with presentations from key militaries and organisations including:
• UAE Armed Forces: Senior-level representatives look at the future development of UAE armoured vehicles
• Al Taif Technical Services, who will analyse maintaining, sustaining and upgrading UAE vehicle fleets
• French Armed Forces: Major General Vincent Desportes offers the French experience of employing armoured vehicles in operational scenarios
• Stryker Brigade Combat Team of the US Army, discussing survivability challenges and developments
• International Institute of Strategic Studies: Brigadier Ben Barry identifies lessons learned from the reorganisation of vehicle fleets in the wake of the UK Strategic Defence Review

Defence IQ is offering all serving Flag Officers 1* and above a free pass to attend the conference.  Passes can be requested by contacting Calum Jeffray at defence@iqpc.co.uk

Additional information is available at www.ArmouredVehiclesUAE.com, along with complimentary articles, podcasts and videos in the Download Centre. The Defence IQ - Military Community LinkedIn group is open for membership, and related content can be found at www.defenceiq.com.
