Battlefield Situational Awareness Focus Day,
6th June 2008
Gain Battlefield Visibility With Unmanned Platforms And Advanced C4i
YOUR CHALLENGE...
How can soldiers identify the enemy in the dust and smoke of war? And how can they communicate in urban operations when contained spaces prevent radio penetration and narrow streets prohibit mobilised support? In order for soldiers to access all areas all the time you must ensure they have the most powerful C4i equipment and comprehensive vehicle support available. But how?
YOUR SOLUTION...
- Leverage the possibilities of unmanned vehicles – let Infantry,Air Force and research experts on unmanned vehicles teach you how to multiply ground force and increase battlefield visibility with eyes in the air
- Software Defined Radios – learn how modular radio systems with blisteringly fast network architecture will empower soldiers to communicate ad-hoc
- Networking – meet 200 military, research and industry experts on UAVs, UGVs and C4i
to make sure your soldiers own the battlefield and don’t unnecessarily risk their lives!
