Discovering new detection capabilities to tackle future threats
Military radar systems have undergone substantial changes since they were first deployed, with new challenges forcing new operating procedures and capabilities in radar. With the emergence of UAV's and drones, and the increasingly and overwhelmingly cluttered Electromagnetic Spectrum,
military radar operators now face their greatest challenge in recent history. As the threat develops across new and multiple fields, engaging with these challenges now is a critical requirement for all radar operators.
Taking the lead in the new era of radar systems, the conference this year will focus on the upcoming major US radar procurement programme, designed to totally revolutionise their radar network. Led by the strategic and technical leads of the SENSR programme -the largest US radar procurement in recent history - the conference will outline the technical requirements, critical development path and the expectations of industry from the programme heads of all four agencies involved in SENSR - HQ NORAD, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Aviation Administration and the NOAA.
Ahead of the programme going to market next year, the
military radar conference will demonstrate the full extent of the programme, exploring the latest in academic research, technical capacity and industry capability to inform the programme, and challenge industry to present new creative approaches to the future of radar.
Join a panel of experts at the 16th annual
Military Radar summit, as they establish a critical path for applying advanced radar technology to address new challenges. Take part in the only summit committed not just to realising the latest research, but to understanding how this research is being applied by the world's leading defence agencies.
Top Reasons to Attend:
- Hear directly from HQ NORAD about the operational requirements of a multi-system radar, and weigh up its benefits in comparison to deploying multiple integrated platforms
- Develop adaptive and autonomous systems that are rigorous enough to meet the minimal fail rates required by military operators, and continue to work towards the application of a truly cognitive radar system
- Explore how QinetiQ are leveraging advances in signal processing that can help to reduce clutter and identify emerging and low-frequency threats in a congested air space
- Discover the critical advances in ELINT and Electronic Warfare, and analyse how advances in MIMO radar can be used to safeguard your capabilities against jamming and stealth technologies
- Understand how the Fraunhofer Institute is working to implement a networked radar system, which takes maximum advantage of multiple capabilities to enhance domain awareness and increase the range of coverage
- Establish an effective procurement strategy by exploring the latest innovations in radar technology and reasearch
