Dear Colleague,

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in theSoldier Equipment Technology and Advancement Forum (SETAF)taking place between the 14th and 16th of April, 2015 in Oslo,Norway.

I am excited about the prospect of SETAF as we intend tooffer and generate a more informal set of focused discussions, inlieu of the typical PowerPoint presentations. The event offers afresh and unique way to bring together our international soldiercommunity to share similar progress and successes as well aschallenges and obstacles from which we can all learn andbenefit.

At SETAF there are no attendees, only participants, makingthis a truly interactive and worthwhile meeting for the entireindustry. You will see from our agenda there is a healthy mix ofmilitary programme managers, procurement experts, chiefscientists and technical engineers and project leads from industry.That combined with an equipment demonstration area meansthis forum can help the soldier systems of today and tomorrowadvance.

I have found these forums to be invaluable both as a USArmy Colonel PM Soldier Warrior and now as a research,development, and acquisition civilian.

Personally I view it as extremely worthwhile, hence lendingmy support to it.

Yours Sincerely,

Colonel (retired) Richard Hansen,Former Program Manager, Soldier Warrior, PEO Soldier, United States Army

P.S. Don’t miss the Winter Warfare Soldier Equipment Briefings Dayon the 14th of April where you can hear briefings on how tomaximise soldier system effectiveness in sub-zero temperaturesand harsh operational environments

At the heart of each soldier system is the ability to integrateeffectively the essential components that deliver dismountedoperational superiority in theatre. Whether this becommunications equipment, sensors, through to power andballistic protection, the need to acquire and then integrate thetechnologies available and recommended by scientists,engineers and industry remains the everyday challenge of thoseheading up national soldier programmes today.

In this unique workshop, Colonel Richard Hansen, FormerProgramme Manager, Soldier Warrior, PEO Soldier, will give his vast

experience of achieving this and what the common challengesand opportunities are as the market continues to evolve everforward.

Key points addressed in the SETAF Masterclass will be:• Balancing power and weight• Ballistic protection as an integrator and cable system • Human factors and in operation testing data to shape future

variants• Managing upwards: on time and in budget • Collaborating with industry for the best results

15.00 End of Briefings Day

Rationale: Whilst many recent conflicts have seen dismounted operations focus on

hot and desert like conditions, there are many nations globally that need

soldier systems that stand up to the harsh environments of sub-zero

conditions. Whether it be heated hand-held displays, power consideration

or the reasons why equipment must be usable with thick protective gloves,

these systems are complex and fit for purpose. At SETAF Oslo 2015, we

dedicate a half day to insightful technical briefings from those operating

and fielding Winter Warfare soldier equipment. With Briefings sessions from

Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Romania and Canada, keep an eye on

our website to see further updates.

Benefits of Attending:• Hear what Norway, Sweden, Finland,

Poland, Romania and Canada focus onwhen testing and developing arcticsoldier modules and components

• Meet with leading industry experts whospecialise in sub-zero and all terrainequipment and technology

• Optimise your future soldier systems toensure they too can be fielded in alloperational environments
