6NEWS: DSEI <strong>2017</strong><br />

maritime domain. Admiral Sir Philip Jones KCB ADC, First Sea<br />

Lord and Chief of Naval Staff, delivered two keynote addresses<br />

at DSEI <strong>2017</strong>. The first on Day Zero, Monday 11 September at the<br />

Maritime Capability Conference, and the second as the opening<br />

keynote in the Naval Zone on Tuesday 12 September on the<br />

exhibition floor.<br />

The Land Zone for DSEI <strong>2017</strong> grew by 52% and surpassed the<br />

achievements of the 2015 event by introducing new features<br />

such as a dedicated showcase which opened up opportunities for<br />

even more suppliers to attend. This was complemented by the<br />

announcement of General Sir Nick Carter KCB CBE DSO ADC Gen,<br />

Chief of the General Staff as keynote speaker. DSEI’s offering to<br />

the land sector was further strengthened by the Land Capability<br />

Conference which took place on Monday 11 September as part<br />

of the DSEI Strategic Conference programme.<br />

Led by the British Army, the conference focused on ‘The Future<br />

of Robotics & Autonomous Systems in the Land Environment’.<br />

The emphasis on land systems innovation continued into the DSEI<br />

exhibition from Tuesday 12 September to Friday 15 September,<br />

with the event’s extensive offering from specialist exhibitors<br />

in the Land Zone. In addition, the Land Seminar Programme<br />

followed four central themes: Develop, Deliver, Generate<br />

and Operate, and People & Skills, focusing on transforming<br />

productivity, Army adaptation and intelligent procurement.<br />

Delegates saw speakers including Major General Chris<br />

Tickell, Director Capability, and Lieutenant General Paul Jaques,<br />

Chief of Materiel (Land) from the British Army.<br />

The dedicated Security Zone showcased security equipment<br />

and systems to counter priority threats, such as Cyber Attacks<br />

and terrorism, as well as an enlarged Special Forces and tactical<br />

equipment area. DSEI <strong>2017</strong> centralised the security sector’s<br />

expertise with a bespoke community in order to<br />

increase networking opportunities for both exhibitors<br />

and visitors.<br />
