International CBRN Symposium

4-6 October 2011 – Defence Academy of the UK, Shrivenham

The 14th CBRN Defence Symposium brought together representatives from Military Staffs, Government Procurement Agencies, Research and Development Staffs, Law Enforcement agencies, and Industry. The symposium provided a forum to discuss the latest developments in CBRN thinking and enabling-technology that can best support the military and wider government requirements.

This year's Symposium was themed on “The Need for Innovation: how the CBRN Sector can contribute to and benefit from it” and focused on innovation in processes and technology. The UK Government’s approach to innovation was considered, as well as how the CBRN Sector can contribute to and benefit from it. Speakers from the USA, Canada, Australia, NATO, the EU and other European nations shared their views on innovation and debated how closer co-operation could aid and drive innovation.

In partnership with Serco, SELEX Systems Integration is a Key Strategic Partner (KSP) for the INFORM element of the CBRN Sector Transformation programme. Along with UK MOD and other KSPs QiniteQ and KBR, the companies form part of the Joint Delivery Team (JDT) that is proposing a radical new approach to how the UK Ministry of Defence can transform the procurement and through-life management of front line capability.

SELEX Systems Integration was once again pleased to be sponsoring the CBRN Defence Symposium and together with the other members of the JDT had a significant presence at this year’s event.
