The conference, hosted by Defence IQ - a division of global events company IQPC - will provide senior military officers with an exclusive arena to discover the latest developments that are influencing the future capability plans for handheld night vision applications.

It will explore key questions affecting the handheld I2 community; for example how to reduce SWAP demands and should sensors do more to help facilitate target acquisition? Is integration to a digital battle space the way forward in improving situational awareness, or does the added weight and technical demands negate the benefits it brings?

Experts who will be sharing their operational experiences, breakthrough developments, requirements and future capability plans in I2, TI and IR technology, include:

  • Colonel (rtd.) Steven Fisher, Marine Corps War fighting Lab Liaison Officer, First Marine Expeditionary Force, United States Marine Corps
  • Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Woodburn, Infantry Weapons and Optics, Manoeuvre Branch, Fires and Manoeuvre Integration Division, United States Marine Corps
  • Major Nick French, Infantry Trials and Development Unit, British Army
  • Captain Coelho Cândido, Regional and Local Commander in Lisbon, Capt. of Lisbon Port, Portuguese Maritime Authority
  • Senior Executive Officer Kristian Todal, Project Manager Night Vision, Norwegian Defence Logistic Organisation
