17th NATO Life Cycle Management Conference & Exhibition

After COVID and Brexit, as we witness a realignment of US priorities, collapsing supply chains, a rising China and a belligerent Russia, the annual NATO LCM Conference will continue to assess the lessons learned and achievements made in areas such as Quality Assurance, Life Cycle Costing, Configuration Management, Acquisition Practices, Material Maintainability et al. as a basis for new and innovative approaches. The event will again be organised in cooperation with the NATO Life Cycle Management Group (AC/327) and with the support of the NATO Industrial Advisory Group (NIAG) and the German CALS Forum. The conference will be combined with a small exhibition, where interested parties are invited to showcase respective capabilities and will take place at the Park Inn by Radisson Brussels Airport on 18/19 May 2022.

Scope of the Conference

According to NATO’s Systems Life Cycle Management (SLCM) policy the main goal of systems life cycle management is to efficiently and effectively deliver, use and maintain NATO capabilities. The primary objectives include:

To have a common understanding of all aspects of SLCM;
To create integrated and seamless business management practices, from initial concept to retirement;
To establish effective collaboration between all stakeholders, with clearly defined responsibilities;
To facilitate technology insertion, mid-life updates and address obsolescence based on life cycle considerations;
To define and apply an integrated systems approach to the development, use and support of systems;
To acquire systems that fulfil operational and logistic requirements, optimise internal and external interfaces, address integrated logistics and in-service support, and minimise production, in-service and disposal impacts on the environment.

Against this background, the 17th NATO LCM Conference will provide a platform for the presentation of innovative approaches and concepts in support of effective materiel management. In addition to specialist presentations and papers the conference will provide ample opportunity for the exchange of information between and among experts, programme managers and decision makers from the nations’ armed forces, defence administration and industry.
