Official website: www.setaf.org/EIN

Never before 21 leading experts committed their time to an alternative event where the very proposition itself is no PowerPoint presentations. Instead SETAF offers focused discussions from technical experts all designed to help you return to your programme better equipped to advance your dismounted infantryman’s future capability.

Confirmed attending organisations include: Oakley Defense, FMV Sweden, Pramacom, Teleplan Globe, SAVOX Communications, NFM Group, Prox Dynamics, Bren-Tronics, IRIDIUM and many more. SETAF 2015 is proud to be sponsored by Denchi Power and Photonis Technologies.

Colonel Richard Hansen, Former Programme Manager, Soldier Warrior, PEO Soldier, US Army had to say about SETAF 2015…
“I am excited about the prospect of SETAF as we intend to offer and generate a more informal set of focused discussions, in lieu of the typical PowerPoint presentations. The event offers a fresh and unique way to bring together our international soldier community to share similar progress and successes as well as challenges and obstacles from which we can all learn and benefit.”
