FPED IV Objective

The stated objective of the FPED is to provide leaders and decision-makers from the Department of Defense (DoD), federal Departments and Agencies, and selected state and local law enforcement and corrections agencies the opportunity to observe, and become familiar with, commercial-off-the-shelf force protection equipment available for procurement and testing within 90 days of the scheduled demonstration.

The FPED brings together knowledgeable leaders from around the world and puts them in contact with force protection equipment manufacturers who may have equipment solutions for force protection needs. The most important aspect is that leaders see what is available, what is possible. A valuable synergy takes place between vendors who discover what users need as well as developing product solutions with other manufacturers.
