Counter IED and Force Protection

6th to 7th October 2010, Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, United Kingdom.

C-IED and EOD: Enhancing support to the warfighter through advanced EOD and C-IED techniques

5th October 2010, Copthorne Tara Hotel, London.

How are counter insurgent's training, tactics and procedures (TTPs) evolving and what impact will these have on security forces?

The Improvised Explosive Device (IED) is one of the most dangerous and effective weapon systems our soldiers have ever had to face.  In Afghanistan, and in trouble-spots around the world, IEDs have become the insurgents’ preferred weapon of choice.  This half day workshop will look at  the ways in which nations can enhance support to the warfighter through advanced EOD and C-IED techniques and will focus on how insurgent's tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) are evolving and what impact will these have on security forces?

About your workshop leader:

Major (Ret’d) Chris Hunter, Kratos Enterprises
Chris joined the British Army at sixteen. He was commissioned from Sandhurst and later served with a number of specialist counter terrorism units. During his career he deployed to a number of operational theatres, including The Balkans, Northern Ireland, Colombia, Afghanistan and Iraq. For his actions during his Iraq tour, he was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal.

Chris rounded off his military career as the senior intelligence analyst for World-wide IED activity at the Ministry of Defence. At the time of the London suicide bombings, he was seconded to COBR-A, the Cabinet Office's emergency response committee. 

Since retiring from the army, Chris has worked as a counter-terrorism consultant, writer and broadcaster. His first memoir, Eight Lives Down, tells the harrowing story of his experiences in Iraq, while its sequel Extreme Risk - released in May 2010 - charts the mesmerizing story of his journey into bomb disposal and the terrifying career he spent fighting the World’s deadliest bomb-makers. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Explosives Engineers, a Member of the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators and a regular contributor to television and radio news and current affairs programmes.

Would your organisation be interested in running an Executive Briefing at a future SMi event?

Executive Briefings are interactive one- or half-day sessions which are attached to a specific conference and are run, on average with between 5 and 10 delegates, to explore a highly-focussed and niche aspect of the overall topic. Running an SMi workshop guarantees you one-to-one access with executives who have actively expressed a keen interest in the subject matter, giving you an excellent opportunity to promote your organisation to your target market. In addition, your company logo and promotional information appears on all SMi marketing brochures and web site. If you are interested in running an executive briefing or speaking at a conference, please contact SMi on +44 (0) 870 9090 711; client_services@smi-online.co.uk
