Addressing effective protection and survivability challenges across all military platforms

Although Aircraft Survivability is a stand alone conference in its own right, the entire survivability community now has the opportunity to come together within the biggest survivability event of the year. This will enable everyone to discuss the latest challenges they face within the increasingly demanding operational environment.

Platform Survivability 2010 takes a unique approach in offering four platform specific conferences within one event. This will allow delegates to meet with the entire survivability community whilst being able to attend a conference specific to their area of expertise and operating environment.
