Soldier Procurement Is Changing – How Will
Users Benefit from Innovation in the Future?
By Tom Webber, Worldwide Business Research
Military Programme managers are currently, especially
in light of austerity measures, looking for ways to get the
right equipment, integrate it and get a good deal whilst
doing so - by working with sub-contractors directly. The
benefits don’t just stop at cost saving but also the rapid
fielding of vital equipment such as protective gear.
This shift could revolutionise the way in which soldier
and marine programmes procure necessary and urgent
equipment and encourage more small, innovative
companies to deal with military.
Gen. Kelley, Commander, Marine Corps Systems
Command, US Marine Corps believes that the ability
to respond to equipment challengs lies in innovation, it
requires R&D and that smaller innovative sub-contractors
are ‘making the investment in producing leading-edge,
wow technology’. Gen. Kelley went on to say of the prime
contractors ‘let me have access to the sub-contractors’.
His parting message to equipment manufacturers was
‘don’t sell out, you have the technology, you have the                “Brigadier General Francis Kelley, Commander, Marine Corps Systems Command says that the ability to respond to

By Tom Webber, Worldwide Business Research Military Programme managers are currently, especially in light of austerity measures, looking for ways to get the right equipment, integrate it and get a good deal whilst doing so - by working with sub-contractors directly. The benefits don’t just stop at cost saving but also the rapid fielding of vital equipment such as protective gear. This shift could revolutionise the way in which soldier and marine programmes procure necessary and urgent equipment and encourage more small, innovative companies to deal with military. Gen. Kelley, Commander, Marine Corps Systems Command, US Marine Corps believes that the ability to respond to equipment challengs lies in innovation, it requires R&D and that smaller innovative sub-contractors are ‘making the investment in producing leading-edge, wow technology’. Gen. Kelley went on to say of the prime contractors ‘let me have access to the sub-contractors’. His parting message to equipment manufacturers was ‘don’t sell out, you have the technology, you have the “Brigadier General Francis Kelley, Commander, Marine Corps Systems Command says that the ability to respond to bargaining chip’. equipment challenges lies in innovation. But what’s the best way to access all the innovation out there today?” The UK approach epoch (2015) with DSA in Epoch 2 (2020) and Soldier and exhibition on 7th -10th June, 2011.

We have soldier load, we have Expeditionary Rifle Squad, US Marine his clothing and equipment, and then the whole C4ISR long convoys, we have fuel costs, all of which seem to Corps capability area; radios, wearable computers, optics, be disconnected challenges.

How are you planning to Lt Colonel Kenneth Tapper, Director, there are signs of key steps that would be made to address do that at the moment? Soldier Modernisation Programmes, the systems integration this year? Swedish Army Col. Paul Roege: Well, what we’d like to do is to be able Col. Richard Hansen: Absolutely.
