Viking Arms Defence to Attend SOF Week 2026 | Defence & Police Procurement
May 5, 2026
Viking Arms Defence will be attending SOF Week 2026 in Tampa, Florida, from 18–21 May 2026, represented by Rich Fell and Tom Jackson.
SOF Week is one of the most important international gatherings for the special operations, defence, security and law enforcement communities. Bringing together operators, government leaders, procurement teams and industry partners, the event provides a focused environment for discussing current operational requirements, future capability needs and the equipment that supports mission success.
For Viking Arms Defence, attendance at SOF Week 2026 is an opportunity to meet with military, police, security and government stakeholders to discuss specialist equipment, procurement support and practical routes to capability.
Supporting defence, police and security procurement
Viking Arms Defence works with police, military and government customers across the UK, supporting the supply of firearms, ammunition, optics, illumination, accessories, tactical equipment and specialist defence solutions.
The team’s role goes beyond distribution. Viking Arms Defence helps connect end-users, procurement teams and global manufacturers, ensuring that capability conversations are grounded in operational reality, product knowledge and long-term support.
At SOF Week 2026, Rich Fell and Tom Jackson will be available to discuss:
- Defence procurement and specialist military equipment requirements
- Police procurement and equipment support for armed policing and specialist units
- Tactical equipment for operational users
- UAS, C-UAS and counter drone capability considerations
- Firearms, optics, ammunition, lighting and accessories
- Training, armourer support and lifecycle considerations
- Routes to market for UK government, defence and law enforcement customers
Meeting the changing needs of specialist users
The operational environment for defence, police and security teams continues to evolve. From counter-UAS and surveillance threats to the need for dependable firearms, optics, night vision, lighting and mission-ready accessories, procurement decisions must balance capability, reliability, supportability and speed of deployment.
Viking Arms Defence is attending SOF Week to strengthen relationships with international partners, identify relevant innovation for UK customers and support discussions around equipment that can be deployed, supported and sustained in demanding environments.
As a specialist defence equipment distributor, Viking Arms Defence works with established manufacturers across firearms, ammunition, optics, tactical accessories, protection, training aids, surveillance, night vision, clothing and specialist equipment.
