Conference Programme

Summary:

The conference will cover current and future operations, evolving concepts and strategies, experimentation and trials and the acquisition and evolution of equipment capabilities across all lines of development.

Lessons identified from current operations coupled with new analysis and concepts are raising new possibilities and requirements for EW around the globe. Lessons about the importance of integrated EW in all services, once forgotten, have been relearned and rapidly addressed but at a cost in effectiveness and interoperability. The conference will enable debate on force development, interoperability and the integration of EW. Leading industry partners will demonstrate the latest technology and how innovative capability management will benefit governments, the military and their industrial partners.

Operational experience has also ensured that the importance of the electromagnetic operational environment has been recognised by NATO and many nations around the world. Experimentation and force development have demonstrated how this electromagnetic environment, and within it EW, work with the other operational environments of the land, sea, air/space and the information environment. This interaction will feature strongly in EW 2009 with a focus on EW and new weapon systems. Effects based Spectrum Operations covering Electronic Surveillance, Electronic Attack and Electronic Defence will feature throughout the conference along with NEC, ISR, Communications and Navwar. The ability to conduct such spectrum operations while denying adversaries the same opportunity strengthens the shield, protecting friendly forces, while sharpening the sword of increased weapon effects.
