An international conference themed on ‘Armoured Vehicles Asia 2010’ got underway in Singapore recently where the Commander of the Army Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya had been invited to present a lecture on ‘Use of Armour in Sri Lanka Conflict’.
The conference, designed to serve as a forum for exchanging information on optimizing planning and delivery of armoured vehicle programmes, discussed operational lessons learned from combat zones with much focus on the Asian Region while paying attention on a range of new innovations that covered modernization plans, new technologies, capability enhancements, national requirements, policies, sub-systems, global defence manufacture, etc.
Lieutenant General Jayasuriya during his presentation outlined the use of Armour in the recent Humanitarian Operations, future requirements, possibilities available for modernization of such vehicles in the future, etc and attracted the attention of the conference delegates who were keen to learn how the war for peace in Sri Lanka was conducted.
Lieutenant General Jayasuriya after the presentation contributed to the panel discussion that followed with the participation of other delegates. The panel centred its focus on possibilities of applying different variables that need to be considered when upgrading or modifying such vehicles.
