Record Attendance and Exhibitors Mark a Milestone Year for Land Forces 2024

BlueZone exhibited at the largest Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition 2024 from the 11th – 13th September in Melbourne, Australia. This year marked the 10th anniversary of the event and broke records with 995 exhibitors from 31 countries, showcasing the future of defence technology and innovation for Australia and international partners. The three-day event held the first Chief of Army Symposium including Army Innovation Day and Quantum Technology Challenge. The event attracted over 20,000 attendees over the three days, which involved 77 conferences and presentations, over 130 official defence, government and industry delegates from 30 nations, 16 Chief or Counterparts and 11 Representatives.

 

“We’ve had record numbers of delegates and an impressive 995 exhibiting companies from 31 countries around the world. Not only has this been the biggest and best Land Forces yet, it is also the largest defence exposition ever held in Australia, “said Justin Giddings, CEO of Land Forces 2024 organiser AMDA Foundation. “The undoubted success of the event is the result of a very strong partnership between the Victorian Government, Australian Army, our sponsors, defence industry participants and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre staff and management. Together with our own AMDA team we have managed to successfully stage a world-class event.”

 

The BlueZone booth showcased the latest Remote, Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) for maritime applications in Australia and New Zealand. The equipment included SUEX Diver Propulsion Vehicles (DVPs) and Blueprint’s Artemis Pro Diver Navigation System, Strategic Robotic System’s FUSION ROV, SEABER’s YUCO-SCAN micro-AUV and HII’s REMUS 300 AUV. BlueZone maintains key partnerships with international leading OEMs to supply quality marine and subsea products and services to offshore, oceanographic, hydrographic, energy and defence communities.

 

Throughout the event, the BlueZone team connected with existing clients and partners, whilst establishing new partnerships. The offerings from BlueZone highlighted a range of technology relevant to Land Forces and the challenging littoral environment. The team at BlueZone extends a warm thanks and our sincerest gratitude to the State Government of Victoria and the Victorian Police supported by their team of federal and other state police officers, for their extraordinary planning and cooperation towards the Land Forces event.
