Abstract:
 Recent conflicts have illustrated that ISR is a fundamental aspect of warfare today. The inclusion of UAVs in this area has widened the scope to fight conflicts from the command room, rather than using battletanks and man-to-man operations in the field. With rising technology in the defence sector today, it is more important than ever to understand how best to deploy UAVs and utilise ISTAR actions in the battlefield, and how these actions are affecting international defence strategies.

Persistent Surveillance will address the ongoing advancements in ISTAR, demonstrating the current capability, as well as future developments in getting intelligence to the warfighter. Through lessons learned in recent operations, case studies will show the successes in surveillance, particularly through the application of unmanned vehicles and ISR integration. Future technologies, trends and techniques will also be assessed. Major General Gary Winterberger (Commander, NATO Early Warning and Control Force, NATO’s only operational command) will be delivering a keynote presentation regarding ISR integration within NATO.

This events panel of industry experts will provide you with an unparalleled opportunity to network and to learn key issues that are impacting upon Persistent Surveillance. This conference therefore should not be missed by anyone involved in the industry.

Guest Speakers at Persistent Surveillance include:
  • Major General Gary Winterberger, Commander, NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control Force
  • Colonel Michael Leahy (PhD), Material Group Director, Air Vehicles Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, US Air Force
