    Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance Technology Conference

    We are proud to announce the third annual Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance Technology conference will be held in Rome from the 30th-31st January 2018. Reconnaissance and Surveillance are key to developing clear and accurate maritime situational awareness. In order to maximise their ISR range, Navies and Maritime agencies around the globe are looking beyond the atmosphere to provide new and advanced surveillance capabilities. Space-based surveillance systems are providing users with up-to-date information from both a signal tracking and data imagery point of view, allowing for the monitoring of shipping routes, fishing grounds, environmental issues and illegal activities. However, not all nations can afford to launch and run dedicated surveillance satellite systems and focus on conventional platforms to fulfil their maritime ISR requirements. Therefore, an international approach is needed to allow Maritime authorities and Navies to monitor the world's oceans and share relevant up-to-date information correctly. As well as hearing about how new surveillance satellite technologies are being developed and integrated into fleets and coast guard agencies, you will also hear about how new and emerging ISR technologies and platforms are shearing information, not only between platforms but between nations and organisations. As well as strong support from the host nation, there will also be neighbouring and regional speakers providing updates and briefings on developing ISR capabilities and maritime situational awareness. Benefits of Attending Features high ranking military officials involved with the enhancement of naval surveillance programmes Learn how nations including Italy, the UK, France, Germany, Canada and the USA are developing their maritime ISR capabilities through space-based and unmanned surveillance technologies Get to the heart of challenges faced by maritime forces through focused briefings, discussions and networking Highlighting the importance of technology to collect and disseminate information to major operators at sea Military and civilian personnel, Chief Executive Officers, Chief Operating Officers, Managing Directors, Vice Presidents, Director, Partners, Heads and Managers working in: C4ISTAR Maritime Security Space-based Surveillance Counter Piracy and Illegal Immigration AIS Maritime Traffic Monitoring Port and Coastal Security National Air Forces National Navies National Coast Guards Plus One Pre-Conference Workshop | Monday 29th January 2018 C-SIGMA: Improving International Collaboration in Space to Enhance Maritime Situational Awareness Hosted by Guy Thomas, Director of C-SIGMA 12.30 to 16.30

    C4ISR and Beyond

    Opening Keynote – The Future Information Environment: Implications for Intelligence Panel 1 – Weaponizing Data Data is an enabler in the C4ISR system in the digital age. This panel focuses on the sharing of experiences, insights, and ideas born in the digital and technology sectors of industry that are living and leading in data and digital – in ways that are not only relevant to C4ISR in the CAF and DND – but critical to realizing the very best possible outcomes digital and technology can bring in this and the age to come. Next Generation C3 Centre Design The proliferation of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) information is radically changing the landscape of the military and intelligence community. Countries are now following a strategy of information superiority to defend against a broad range of threats. The processing and analysis of this information mostly happens in a secure command and control operations center. The current focus of these command centers is “Instant Situational Awareness;” that is, “how can I use the ISR information sources available to me to give me a full and instant picture of the situation?” Panel 2 – C4ISR – Military View – Environmental Domains This panel presents and deliberates on the view of the mission of the CAF at large, and the evolving nature of land, maritime and air warfare – describing and implying the key role C4ISR plays – and the key capabilities soldiers, sailors, airmen and women – and their leaders at all levels require in order to succeed in operations. Lunch Keynote- Anticipate, Adapt and Act: C4ISR Capability Development in the CAF Panel 3 – Delivering C4ISR through and for SSE This panel speaks to key initiatives and new conditions that need to be established if the best of digital, technology, people and processes are to be brought to bear. It presents and deliberates on the measures being pursued, or that need to be pursued, if Defence and the Government of Canada are to achieve these ends – leveraging the unique and the best offerings of industry, innovation, technology and partnerships that bring these together. Delivering is a team effort. Who and how do we animate that in a modern, and speed of digital age? Panel 4 - Targeting Cyber, Space and intelligence operations persist at all levels – at the tactical, operational and strategic levels. At the same time, each has its own needs of and contributions to the larger C4ISR effort. This panel presents both the nature of cyber, space and intelligence needs and operations – in managing/exploiting/exploiting their own domains - and the nature of their work to enable operations in the other more familiar domains of air/land/maritime warfare. C4ISR is executed within these areas, what are the key challenges being confronted and areas for new capability development?

    CADSI WEBINAR: Advanced Manufacturing Strategy Table Industry Outreach

    Mike Greenley, President L3 WESCAM and Vice Chair of the Advanced Manufacturing Strategy Table, has been tasked to consult Canadian defence firms on a series of thematic questions relevant to the Table's mandate: What would it take to persuade foreign defence firms to locate world product mandates in Canada? What challenges do Canadian defence companies have in making investments in technology and advanced manufacturing to improve their businesses? What challenges do Canadian defence companies face in scaling up? The Advanced Manufacturing Strategy Table is one of six (6) business-led economic strategy tables, created in Budget 2017 as part of the Government's Innovation Agenda, that aim to establish an ongoing dialogue between government and industry and develop recommendations focused on leveraging Canada's existing economic strengths into global advantages. To support these activities, CADSI is working with Mr. Greenley in his role as Vice Chair of the Advanced Manufacturing Strategy Table to let CADSI's members know about the work of the Table, its importance, and how they can contribute their ideas to the Table's engagement process. Speakers: Mr. Mike Greenley, President L3 WESCAM, Vice Chair of the Advanced Manufacturing Strategy Table You are invited to participate in this webinar from 3:00pm to 4:30pm on January 17th, 2018.
