DISCOVER THE FUTURE OF LAND DEFENCE
Welcome to the Land Zone at DSEI 2023, a crucial cornerstone of the event that spotlights the latest advancements in land defence. This dedicated area, proudly supported by the British Army, showcases cutting-edge vehicles, weapons, ammunition, and equipment from global innovators.
A visit to the Land Zone provides an unrivalled opportunity to engage directly with the British Army, meet industry-leading exhibitors like Ford, Mercedes, Supacat, Jankel, and ST Engineering, and connect with a wide network of suppliers and partners.
The war in Ukraine has increased the urgency of modernising the UK’s land forces, ensuring that combined arms warfare can be fought effectively. This is not all about mere platforms or numbers of soldiers, but includes strengthened stockpiles, true readiness and a resilience in the supply chain that will allow for a sustained use of force. The Army’s response to these challenges will be on full display at DSEI 2023, not only on the show floor but importantly also in the conceptual space in the keynote addresses and other conference sessions.
The British Army will focus on the Land Operating Concept and being a net contributor to the multi-domain enterprise at DSEI. This will be viewed through the lens of delivering the capabilities we need now and, in the future, and on continuing to build the broad alliances to protect our vital national and international interests.
- Rear Adm (Ret'd) Jon Pentreath, DSEI Senior Military Adviser (Land)
