Homeland September 19, 2016

DEFENCE EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DlSPOSAL & SEARCH (DEODS)

COUNTER – EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE INDUSTRY BRIEFING DAY

Wednesday 7^th December 2016

MoD

London

Uncontrolled Explosive Ordnance (EO) and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) are an enduring global threat and in the case of IEDs are likely to continue to be a weapon of choice for the UK’s adversaries. To effectively search and safely dispose of EO, and to counter IEDs, an international, cross-government and multi-disciplinary approach is required which uses both offensive and defensive methods to neutralise threats.

To ensure the MoD and particularly the Defence EOD & Search community maintains close contact with industry, the DEODS/C-IED Branch, supported by Capability Management, DE&S and Science & Technology authorities, are planning to hold an Industry Briefing Day in the MoD on 7^th Dec 16. Following the success of previous events, the intention once again is to invite industry partners to a briefing day at the Secret level in order to share information regarding global threats together with MoD and partner-nation initiatives and requirements and to indicate where funded and unfunded capability gaps may lie now and into the forseable future.

The Branch are always keen to welcome new representation from industry or academia in order that we continue to innovate and develop novel capabilities to meet future challenges.

The nature of this briefing means it must be held in a secure location (MoD Whitehall) and all participants need to be a minimum of Security Cleared (SC) and be UK Nationals.

The programme will include:

The Threat and Operational Context
EOD & Search Capability Planning and the Requirement
Future Equipment Procurement & Support Opportunities
