Memo

Gold Sponsor: Leonardo Sponsors: Intelsat General Corporation and Rafael In 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 this need to effectively develop information superiority grows, it is essential that modern joint operations maintain effective surveillance of enemy positions from the air. With both manned and unmanned ISR assets growing in complexity and capability there is a critical need for a forum within which optronics, power, sensor suites and operational reliability of these platforms can be discussed. SMi Group are delighted to host in London the fourth annual Airborne ISR Conference partnered with Leonardo and Rafael Defence Systems announcing their support for the event.
