Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Summit

Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance or ISR Summit will focus on the emerging technology trends and capability requirements for tactical Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance. The importance of delivering actionable intelligence to warfighters’ from ISR platforms has never been more important for ensuring mission success and effectiveness. Emerging challenges to integrate ISR assets into the future force are at an all time high, how do we manage data access? How do we ensure bandwidth to get the data to warfighters in the field? And how do we put control in the hands of those that need it most?

This year’s ISR Summit will incorporate the changing face of ISR assets to include Target Acquisition or ISTAR. With UAVs being armed, we are able to efficiently and effectively enable real time precision strikes without putting manned forces in harms way. We seek to follow this evolution through our event and identify the necessary improvements that must happen in order for ISR to enable successful target acquisition.
