About the Conference
Over the past year it has been demonstrated that the continued importance of combat vehicles in modern battle, cannot be overstated. In an era where military capabilities and strategic operations are inextricably linked with cutting-edge technology and innovation, the need for modernization of aging combat/armored vehicles along with introducing new warfighter protection, lethality, and maneuverability capabilities across all domains, including the fundamental land domain, has become key priority area for the U.S. Military.
With its unparalleled access to cutting-edge technology, expert insights, and industry connections, the National Congress on Next Generation Combat Vehicles stands as a crucial catalyst in driving the advancements that shape the U.S. and global defense capabilities.
The Conference runs under Chatham House rule with no media or press in attendance. Participants are strictly vetted; certain citizens are not admitted to the conference.
