Light Utility Vehicles 2008: Addressing Key Issues for the LUV Class

Small arms fire and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) continue to pose highly dangerous threats to mobile infantry. The need to balance manoeuvrability, speed, weaponry capability and survivability and transportability is hugely important for vehicle platforms used by ground troops in current operations.

How can you differentiate your products in this highly competitive and evolving market and ensure you benefit from the estimated $14 billion military investment over the next 10 years?

Are you in need of increasing the survivability of your light utility fleet whilst decreasing the risk factor for your soldiers for crucial operational roles?

Whether you need to identify military requirements for LUV performance or wish to learn from military operational experience, Light Utility Vehicles 2008 will give you the ultimate platform to network, influence and share best practice.
