Upcoming Events

The Enemy of future battlefields will be unlike those of the past. Over the last two decades our adversaries have examined our capabilities and have developed various ways to counter act against them and weaken our domain overmatch.

With this in mind we have launched the Multi-Domain Battle Management Summit this August 21 – 23 in Washington D.C. bringing together Battle Managers, Heads of Planning and Operations, Commanders & industry partners. This event will focus on how the DoD will advance it’s multi domain operations through the integration of C2 battle management capabilities across all 5 domains.

IDGA is excited to announce the return of our Robotics and Autonomous Systems Summit. This is the only event of its kind in the United States. There is no other Robotic and Autonomous Systems event that is strictly military and government focused. IDGA will bring together leaders from across all sectors of the government, as well as leading industry experts, to talk challenges, upcoming strategies, and collaboration initiatives for Robotic and Autonomous Systems.

SMi is delighted to announce the 4th UAV Technology conference convening on the 30th of September and 1st of October 2019 in London, United Kingdom.

For it’s fourth edition, UAV Technology is rebranding and shifting from its previous Central and Eastern European focus to a more global approach by moving to London. This will allow countries and defence agencies from the US, the UK, Israel, and other leading NATO nations and partners to join in.

UAVs now more than ever play a pivotal role as a tactical and operational tool for the Armed Forces. SMi’s UAV Technology conference will aim to examine and bring solutions to this specific piece of equipment and how to better utilise it during missions. Moreover, SMi will bring together a community of experts, friends and allies to share information and strengthen relationships. This reflects the growing need of nations, armed forces and industries to come together in order to achieve higher levels of capabilities.

Attending this conference will mean to not only have a clear understanding of UAV but to have a chance to be part of a community of leaders and experts that will impact the growth of these technological assets.

SMi is pleased to present the 4^th annual conference on Air Missile Defence Technology, taking place in Prague on 22^nd and 23^rd October 2019.

With militaries constantly facing varied threats, operators have crucial requirements for flexible and adaptable systems that can counter the ever-changing battlespace environment. In conjunction with this, constrained budgets mean the importance of allied cooperation is more prevalent than ever and interoperability between systems and national partners is crucial for any future planning.

The need for combined Air Defence programmes has therefore become a common goal for allied forces around the world. With this in mind, and bringing together senior representatives from military, industry and academia, SMi’s Air Missile Defence Technology 2019 conference will centre on developing and improving the technology behind AMD programmes to ensure they are well prepared for future mission requirements.

The 2019 conference will provide a unique insight into:

• GBAD
• Counter Medium and Ballistic Missile technologies
• C-RAM
• Integrated and Networked Radar systems
• Confronting ICBM threats
• Developing coherent international strategies
• And much more!
