Future Soldier Technology 2026

March 5, 2026

Viking Arms Defence Division Manager Dan Preston will be attending Future Soldier Technology 2026 in London, UK, taking place 9–11 March 2026 in support of L3 Harris. He’ll be connecting with attendees across the soldier modernisation community.

Future Soldier Technology is positioned as a leading forum focused on dismounted soldier modernisation bringing together senior military stakeholders, programme teams, and industry specialists to discuss how capability is evolving across the close fight and beyond. 

The agenda focus areas highlighted by the organisers span the practical challenges that matter most to frontline outcomes, including:

  • Lethality & weaponry

  • Dismounted tactical power

  • Protection & survivability

  • Night-vision and related sensor-enabled capability 

For Viking Arms Defence, it’s a valuable opportunity to listen, compare notes, and have grounded conversations with the people designing, procuring, integrating, and using modern dismounted systems.

Dan will be at the event to connect on themes including:

  • Soldier modernisation priorities and what they mean in practical, deployable terms

  • Dismounted capability, how equipment choices affect performance, burden, and interoperability

  • Enabling kit, where small improvements in integration, usability, and sustainment can make a meaningful difference in the field

If you’re attending Future Soldier Technology 2026 and want to set up a time to talk, we’d be glad to meet.
