Gain Hands-on Experience with a Range of Simulation & Training Equipment at Lockheed Martin’s Training & Simulation Suite

SMi’s JOINT FORCES SIMULATION & TRAINING event 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.

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. Lockheed Martin’s Simulation & Training Suite will show you why military units around the world are turning increasingly to total training systems that give their troops the edge. Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training & Support is developing the highest level of realistic training possible to give forces the key advantage in battle; the suite will display a wide variety of live, virtual and constructive training solutions, in use by forces around the world.

Lockheed Martin’s CFO, Bruce Tanner, gave an interview to CNNMoney.com. His key point is that with either the election of Senator Obama or McCain there will be no real downturn in defense spending. Many have felt that the Democrat might slash defense spending in order to pay for the other programs he has proposed. The last two Democratic administrations, Carter and Clinton, are not well remembered within the Department of Defense due to their reduction in funding. Both of these administrations cut back heavily on spending, especially in the area of investment for new weapon systems. Read more
