DVD 2008 is one of the most important events in the defence equipment calendar. It is a two-day event, organised by the MoD, for vehicle, battlefield infrastructure and related support services industries with an interest in the defence sector. It is aimed primarily at manufacturers, purchasers, specifiers and senior users, and provides a single point of contact and interaction for the multitude of large and small stakeholders involved in these sectors.
Last year’s event attracted more than 4,000 visitors, with over 200 companies displaying equipment and systems. This year we anticipate an even better attendance with additional IPTs having chosen DVD as a major stakeholder event. Taking part in DVD 2008 will be the organiser, Specialist and Utility Vehicles IPT, supported by General Support Vehicles IPT and Battlefield Infrastructure & Engineer Group and they will be joined this year by Deployable Support & Test Equipment IPT, Defence Clothing IPT, Medical & General Supplies IPT, Defence Food Services IPT and the Defence Fuels Group.
As before, DVD 2008 will cover a vast range of equipment and service support, from vehicles and systems to construction plant and camouflage, including protected mobility and support vehicles. This year there will also be new displays of test and measurement equipment, clothing, food, catering equipment, medical and general supplies and fuels and lubricants. |
