Airborne ISR 2016In today’s complex and ever changing operational environment, the demand for increased situational awareness continues to grow. As a decisive and indispensable tool, air based ISTAR is increasingly relied upon to deliver this capability, allowing commanders to understand the situation on the ground and act accordingly.

As NATO nations seek to advance their intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities in support of ongoing air operations, there is therefore need for collaboration on shared challenges faced. Consequently, it is the aim of our focused meeting to explore the tactics and technologies for advancing capability in this important area. Drawing on the experience and ongoing work of military experts from across NATO and its allies, the forum will aim to comprehensively cover the intelligence chain, ranging from direction and collection, to process, dissemination and targeting. In addition, operational lessons learned, feedback from exercises and key programme updates will be discussed. Importantly, the conference will also benefit from the guidance of technical leaders from research and industry, whose insight into the latest platforms, systems and sub-systems will provide greater awareness of existing and future capability.

Sponsorship of Airborne ISR 2016

• Educate the market on your company’s capability and make the business case for how to solve your potential customers’ challenges and requirements

• Build your brand so your solutions are front of mind when your prospects are putting potential solution providers on their short list
