Simulation & Training Suite - Sponsored by Lockheed Martin:

Dear Industry Colleague, JOINT FORCES SIMULATION & TRAINING 2010 is the perfect opportunity to address current evolving simulation and training requirements and the future challenges within the global defence community. Existing and emerging nations continue to play their part in the Contemporary Operating Environment (COE) and this conference will examine the constant evolution of simulation and training requirements in the world of defence. The event brings together key senior military experts, training architects and leading industry members and decision makers from around the globe. Networking and sharing with such distinguished international speakers and attendees will update you on new technologies and gaming solutions, global operational training needs and lessons learned from different countries to hopefully implement new ways of training in the future. Lockheed Martin STS understand that the challenges are great within the current defence world, given the constant challenge of the war in Afghanistan and the global economic effects on the world economy. We believe that it is the right time to think about how we can Reinvent How People Prepare For Their Tomorrow™ and are proud to be the lead sponsor of this event to do exactly that. I look forward to welcoming you to the conference. Nick Mellor Regional Director International Market Development During the conference Lockheed Martin will be offering all attendees the opportunity to gain a hands-on opportunity to engage with their range of simulation & training equipment.
