General Sir Nick Carter KCB CBE DSO ADC Gen, Chief of the General Staff, will be delivering a keynote address at Defence and Security Equipment International 2017 exhibition on Wednesday, 13 September.

General Sir Nick Carter will be speaking in the East Theatre, located on the exhibition floor.
Intelligent procurement
DSEI’s offering to the land sector is further strengthened by the Land Capability Conference which takes place on Monday, 11 September, as part of the DSEI Strategic Conference programme. Led by the British Army, the conference will focus on 'The Future of Robotics & Autonomous Systems in the Land Environment'. Attendees will be encouraged to widen the debate during the open panel sessions throughout the day.
The emphasis on land systems innovation will continue into the DSEI exhibition from Tuesday, 12 September, to Friday, 15 September, with the event’s extensive offering from specialist exhibitors in the Land Zone. In addition, the Land seminar programme will follow four central themes: Develop, Deliver, Generate and Operate, and People & Skills, focusing on transforming productivity, army adaptation, and intelligent procurement. Delegates can expect to see speakers including Major General Chris Tickell, Director Capability, and Lieutenant General Paul Jaques, Chief of Materiel (Land) from the British Army.
Combating unpredictable threats
General Sir Nicholas Carter, Chief of the General Staff said, “The British Army has a long tradition of being at the forefront of innovative technology—last year’s celebration of the 100th anniversary of the tank is a good reminder. Today, it is difficult to remember a time when the strategic context was more complex or dynamic. The defining condition seems to be one of instability.”
