Explosive weapons, both conventional munition or improvised explosive, have become a fact of modern conflict. Behind the conflict, this threat for millions across the globe is, in reality, a fact of life which continues to decimate communities across the world. UNICEF estimates one casualty every 20 minutes caused by explosive weapons.
Responding to this ongoing crisis, the Countering Explosive Threat and Demining conference, supported by the Counter-EO UK, representing the UK’s Counter-IED supply chain and collaborating with Her Majesty’s Government, British Army and security forces, this truly unique forum will bring together key stakeholders and decision makers from the complete, global EOD community.
Led by senior policy drivers from government, NGO’s and military and supported by industry leaders across all three pillars of EOD – prepare the force, attack the network and defeat the device – the conference will outline the new, joint approach to countering the explosive threat.
Attend The Conference To:
- Strengthen cooperative networks with EOD partners from civilian, military and humanitarian sectors to develop joint strategies for mitigating threat networks
- Adopt operating procedures to defeat future improvised threats from aerial borne IED’s and non-metal content devices by hearing exclusive briefings from global operational clearance leaders
- Hear from leading experts in detection to understand how new identification technologies such as ground penetrating radar and combining sensors can help you defeat the device
- Position your organisation as a leading partner for EOD and demining clearance operations, by aligning your solutions with those at the front line
