Mobile Deployable Communications

Returning for its 7th year the 2014 Mobile Deployable Communications Conference will address the key topics of CIS networks and tactical communications, C4ISR standardisation, interoperability across the global armed forces, operational experiences and future technologies. 
The role of the communications systems has evolved hugely in the past 15 years. Simple having the ability to send text information is no longer adequate.

Military units are now relying on communication networks to relay information with sound, images, video. All of the military communication networks have to be secure, meaning that no interception is possible thus militating against reduced operational integrity.

Contemporary military operations, peacekeeping and stabilization missions require from the armed forces to take actions in unknown and very often distant areas. An example may be the mission of the Armed Forces in Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. Military operations are carried out in vast areas with poor telecommunications infrastructure. In such circumstances only modern systems of satellite communications may provide fast, reliable, interference- and interception-resistant information transfer in command centres, operating units and other sub-units (logistic, engineering, etc.).

This year the conference will address the communication equipment used by global armed forces when deployed, illustrating that the practical elements are just as significant as the technology which supports deployed soldiers.

Key Military speakers will deliver case study and experience led presentations giving delegates the opportunity to learn about and then discuss the experiences of other nations.

Event highlights include:

• Hear the UK MOD most recent update on UK Land Environment Tactical CIS
• Join the discussion on EU militaries working towards a truly mobile communications system during an interactive panel discussion
• Learn about the Italian view point on Network Centric Warfare
• Listen to a focused energy supply presentation from the Ministry of Defence, Austria
• Hear how the challenges of SOA - based communications in the tactical domain will effect ongoing operations from the Polish Institute of Military Communications Institute
• Discuss the current withdrawal from Afghanistan
