Land Forces Simulation and Training, February 13 – 14, 2017, London, UK

With combat environments becoming more diverse and complex, the demand for realism in training is crucial for land forces wanting to create a robust representation of the physical, mental and ethical challenges on the battlefield. Against this backdrop, SMi’s 8th annual Land Forces Simulation and Training conference will focus on the growing importance to optimise virtual training solutions as a safe and viable alternative to live fire drills. This year’s programme will explore the effectiveness, cost, efficiency and interoperability of training for individual nations and their allies on topics such as the dismounted soldier, manned and unmanned vehicles, fire support, synthetic training, multinational exercises and simulation systems.
