Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability 2020 Will Host a Pre-Conference Focus Day on Active Protection Systems

SMi Group's Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability conference will host a dedicated Active Protection Systems Focus Day on 9th November 2020

SMi Group's Future Armoured Vehicles Survivability conference will return to London for its 6th year on 10th - 11th November 2020 to explore the technologies and concepts that aim to enhance armoured vehicle survivability; from systems that prevent platforms from being targeted, to systems that provide staying power in the event of an attack.


Not only this, but building on the successes of 2019, SMi will once again host a dedicated pre-conference Active Protection Systems Focus Day on the 9th November 2020, which will provide detailed and exclusive insight into how leading nations are integrating APS into their existing and future vehicle fleets.

Leading technical experts and militaries from the most forward-thinking nations will cover: Latest hard/soft kill systems, Modular Architecture, Sensors, Data Processing, Munitions and countermeasures, Capability Concerns, Technology demonstrations, Systems Testing and Trialling and much more.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
