Why Land Forces 2020?

Take advantage of the Australian Defense Forces upgrading and revitalization of their military and get the bonus of the entire Indo -Asian- Pacific region attending Land Forces 2020!

 

These three lively geographical areas beckon to the American suppliers of defense equipment and services for all three services. Taking Australia alone, consider the $35 billion appropriation, ear-marked for land combat and amphibious warfare to provide greater mobility, firepower, protection and situational awareness.

From its central location, Australia attracts government and commercial interests from the far-flung Indo-Asian-Pacific region. During the three-day run of Land Forces, exhibitors will discuss serious proposals from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, China, Singapore or Pakistan.
The Chiefs of Army, senior military leaders and High-level defense professionals from the above and many other countries are invited to Land Force show and will attend the Chief of Army Seminar that takes place simultaneously.

2016 Defence White Paper

The 2016 Defence White Paper released on 25 February 2016 delivers on the Government’s commitment to the safety of the Australian people and to the defence our territory and national interests. The Defence White Paper sets out a comprehensive, responsible long term plan for Australia’s defence. The Government is investing in Defence to ensure that we have the armed forces we need to protect Australia and to secure our interests in the coming decades.

Follow The Money

The Australian Government will invest AUD$190 Billion on the Australian Defense Force in the next decade. AUD$56 Billion on land force equipment, services and new combat capabilities

 

Key capabilities will include: a new program for continuous upgrade of personal equipment and force protection for soldiers; new combat reconnaissance, infantry fighting, and protected mobility vehicles. Plans also call for upgrades to the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks; new armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance unmanned aircraft. The White Paper calls for a new long‐range rocket system to complement existing artillery; logistics enablers to support the amphibious deployment capability of the two Canberra Class ships.
