» View list of Speakers

How can you defeat the increasingly broad nature of air-based threats?

New technologies and platforms are constantly becoming available that go some way in helping the military to achieve their elusive goal – a fully integrated air and missile defence system of systems that is capable of defeating any threat that enters its envelope.

Open strategic communication and cooperation between allied states and the defence industry is necessary to maximise accuracy in threat and future requirement assessments. These assessments are critical to ensure the protection of airspace and maintenance of national security. Defence IQ’s Ground Based Air & Missile Defence conference will address the key challenges and solutions in this critical Air and Missile defence industry. The speed of technology developments and the continued proliferation of weapons to rogue nations and asymmetric factions has resulted in an agenda focus that will deliver detailed insight into:

  • Threat Analysis
    Gain expert insight covering latest threat assessments from the International Institute of Strategic Studies, NATO and the US Missile Defence Policy Office
  • Global viewpoints
    Delegates from Poland, Israel, Taiwan, USA, UK, Germany and Switzerland will all make presentations at the conference, bringing you up to date with their current approaches and programmes
  • Modernisation of weapon systems
    Assess future Air Defence requirements and procurement needs as nations strive for greater NATO integration including a presentation from the General Manager of the NATO MEADS programme. Also, hear Taiwan’s current missile defence status and future requirements
  • Dealing with operational asymmetric threats
    Hear about tactical threat assessment and operational use and future developments of C-RAM and CIWS weapons, including a presentation on the new MANTIS system from the German Army
