Soldier Systems Modernization leaders and agencies will brief on requirements in January
Soldier systems modernization has new leadership and new priorities.
New S&T leaders including Dr Marilyn Freeman, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army Research and Technology and new procurement leaders including Brigadier General Camille Nichols, PEO, PEO Soldier are building new 3,5 and 7 year technology roadmaps. They will define how the future soldier fights and give insight in to requirements and future acquisition by PEO Soldier.
PEO Soldier's new Commanding General, Brigadier General Camille Nichols will speak and attend Soldier Technology 2012 to update industry and fellow soldier systems modernizers across North America.
In addition to new leadership, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) are currently planning ahead for future soldier sustainment. If something needs replacing in theater, ballistic vests for example, DLA awards is responsible for the contract to replace those vests.. At Soldier Technology 2012 they will tell industry what the plan is to sustain protection equipment going forwards, something a lot of protection manufacturers absolutely must know to effectively plan how they resource their factories.
Sustaining the squad and soldier protection will be one of the key issues and hottest topics in debate at Soldier Technology US in January 2012, the annual gathering of senior soldier and marine system modernization leaders in Crystal City, Arlington where decisions about future capabilities for the small unit and squad take shape. It is the only place where over 550 government and industry program managers meet and learn from Pentagon, Army, Marine Corps and industry leadership about soldier system modernization requirements and business opportunities to unburden, connect, train and protect ever more lethal small units and squads.
