International Dismounted Soldier

This year’s International Dismounted Soldier (IDS) conference, chaired by Lieutenant General (Ret.) James Bashall, will focus on infantry’s role in multi-domain warfare, Command and Control at range, Future Soldier Programs, enhancing organic firepower, training and simulation, challenges posed by future operating environments, and doing all this mindful of the burden placed on the dismounted soldier. The theme for the 2022 conference is Enhancing Future Soldier Firepower and Lethality. Alongside these highly relevant topics the conference agenda will include a designated focus day addressing urban warfare, considering the challenges and potential that the dismounted soldier can face in relation to this environment. Subsequently, the IDS forum will delve into this highly relevant topic, bringing together end-users and industry to advance current capability.
