About International Armoured Vehicles

The annual International Armoured Vehicles Conference (IAVC) has earned a reputation as the world’s premier international meeting ground for all elements of the armoured community. IAVC has established itself among the world’s Armies, Marine Corps, procurement officials, and industry representatives as the unbiased quality forum to focus solely upon land vehicles and force protection.

Since the first conference in 2001, we’ve seen the rapid evolution of land power doctrine and technology. From an extended period of counterinsurgency through to recent refocusing on large scale combat operations. This journey has been marked by technology innovation from C-IED and MRAP designs through to C-UAS, digitization and integration into multi-domain operations.

Over the years the conference has helped contribute to the debate around many timely subjects; charting trends in armoured vehicles, from the rise in demand for wheeled vehicles to the return of heavy armour, from the drive towards hybrid-electric drive to novel uses of advanced manufacturing in expeditionary settings, from the strategic to the specialist we aim to provide a forum rich in content for all involved in the armoured vehicle ecosystem.

Whether you are a military practitioner, acquisition staffer, decision maker, programme manager, technical expert, industrial supplier or strategic leader, I believe you will all benefit considerably from attending IAVs and look forward to welcoming you to Twickenham early next year. Find out more here

About Defence iQ

Established in 2001, Defence iQ has grown to become one of the world’s largest defence events and media organisations. We are uniquely positioned to engage with and support the international defence community via our digital platform and global conferences, all of which are underpinned by rigorous research into global defence policy, acquisition strategy, capability development and military leadership.

Our Values

Defence iQ recognises that established paradigms in defence are being challenged by new complex threats and disruptive technologies, and as such public-private sector collaboration and the cross-fertilization of ideas about the present and future defence enterprise has become more important than ever. We collaborate with the military services, traditional and non-traditional defence industry, S&T and academia who, by contributing to our events and publications, help us generate thoughtful debate about the future of our industry. Our objective is simply to provide our event attendees, members and industry partners with a hub of commentary and analysis on contemporary, defence acquisition, military strategy and technology development so that they can keep pace with rapid technological development, evolving threats and operational needs across Air, Land, Maritime, Security and the Joint Domains.
