Singapore, 3 June 2011 – At the inaugural Future Land Forces 2011 conference to be held in Singapore on 28-29 June 2011, the Associate Sponsor Schott will be talking about their armour substrate materials that promise to offer suitable ballistic performance that protects military personnel even in the most extreme conditions – whether by land, air or sea. When it comes to glass, Schott uses transparent and opaque armour systems. By using current commercial glass-ceramic technologies, these new armour systems offer the military the potential to provide soldiers with levels of protection similar to today’s opaque and transparent armour systems at significantly lower costs.
According to Steve Willis, Commercial Director at Clarion Events Defence & Security Asia “Soldiers in combat situations can stand easy knowing their equipment is protected by this technology. Force protection and survivability against ballistics is of paramount importance for any army involved in combat operations. We are proud to welcome Schott as one of our sponsors who provides this capability for regional armies.”
Transparent armour is only of one of many topics that will be discussed in regards to land force modernisation and the acquisition of gear for the Asian defence market. The event will be cover all aspects of army modernisation in the region, encompassing infantry, armour, artillery and unmanned system technologies and equipment for soldiers.
