Symposium content
PASS 2018 offers a unique opportunity for the exchange of views and experiences in the field of personal armour systems between academia, users and manufacturers. Experts will share the results of the latest research, and panel discussions will allow inputs from participants. Attendees will include representatives from defense and academic research organization, industry, military and police forces. The Symposium is focused on all aspects relating directly to personal protection e.g. military and police body armour, helmets, and EOD protection. In conjunction with the symposium, there will be an industry exhibition area to allow the discussion, illustration and promotion of ideas and equipment from our sponsors and exhibitors.
