About this episode

In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, senior journalist Robert Dougherty sits down with Harry Hickling, managing director at APV Corporation, to discuss the importance of rigorous testing and evaluation in the evolving landscape of defence and automotive industries.

Hickling takes listeners behind the scenes, sharing how the company runs laboratory tests on military and civilian-focused vehicles, ensuring automotive equipment doesn’t compromise safety systems.

The podcast also focuses on APV Engineering and Testing Services’ (APV-T) use of advanced simulation technology to run thousands of virtual test scenarios, reducing development costs and time to market.

The pair also discuss the broader implications of simulation in defence, where it’s helping to de-risk expensive and challenging testing scenarios. APV is growing its international presence and the company’s expanding its staff to meet the increasing demand for simulation expertise.

The episode wraps up with an invitation for engineers and technicians to join APV in its mission to enhance safety across industries, especially military and automotive sectors. With their cutting-edge work, APV is setting new standards for testing and safety.
