DVD 2010 will again provide a unique opportunity for the defence sector to meet, learn about, discuss and experience the equipment, technologies and support services that are critical to the success of the UK’s armed forces. The event offers two days of efficient interaction, during which members of the defence acquisition community, military personnel and industry organisations, as well as related government departments, can assemble for informal discussion and briefings - offering vital user feedback and strengthening MoD and industry working relationships.
During the event visitors can see new products and equipment displays from attending DE&S teams from the Land Equipment, Joint Support Chain clusters and industry. At this time, the role of the Land Equipment Cluster is to furnish and support the UK’s soldiers on the frontline. DE&S Chief of Defence Materiel, General Sir Kevin O’Donoghue said: “Defence’s main effort is the operation in Afghanistan and no parts of DE&S contribute more obviously to that
campaign than the Land Equipment and Joint Support Chain represented at the event. He went on to say: “DVD is an essential part of our support to current operations as it brings the MoD customer and industry supplier together in a way that is just not possible in an office environment. The exchange of ideas which this event generates will enable us to continue providing the best possible equipment and support to our armed forces. DVD is a unique and important part of the defence calendar and I anticipate another valuable event this year.” This year’s event welcomes several
more new teams that have chosen to make DVD their key stakeholder event. Joining DVD for the first time in 2010 is the Individual Capability Group (ICG), which is responsible for managing the strategic direction and operations activities for the Dismounted Soldier System Team (DSS), Integrated Soldier System Executive (ISSE), Light Weapons, Photographic and Batteries Team (LWPB) and the Personal Combat Equipment team. These teams have responsibility for procuring and supporting all of the equipment
designed to improve the safety and capabilities of the dismounted soldier on operation now and in the future. Particular emphasis will be paid at DVD to the creation of the ISSE, which is responsible for the development of the Soldier System Architecture for the 2020 vision of the soldier. Members of these project teams will be present to discuss how, through the use of technology and research, the Soldier System Architecture can be achieved. Overall DVD provides an ideal opportunity for DE&S members and participating organisations to meet and interact with attendees from the user community, senior defence staff from the frontline command, capability directors and their staff and other military users. Direct contact with these key stakeholders helps DE&S and the wider industry to monitor the levels of technology, capability and service it provides to the Armed Forces.
