DST Group's ICSILP 2018, with the theme of 'Innovation through Technology Convergence for Land Power', will focus on the application of science and technology for transforming the land force of the future.
The conference provides a unique forum for leading Army officers, Defence researchers, industry professionals and academics to discuss the latest developments, and future directions, in defence, science, technology and innovation.
This year's conference will address the question of how technology convergence, innovation and science can modernise land forces to become more agile and potent in the challenging environments of land operations, and survive and counter emerging physical, electronic and cyber threats.

A main attraction at this year's ICSILP panel discussion will be 'The Future Soldier', which will be facilitated by Brigadier David Wainwright, Director-General Future Land Warfare.
