AbstractThe increasing complexity and uncertain nature of the modern threat makes international military co-operation both politically and militarily desirable. However, coalition success is much harder to achieve if systems, doctrine, and command of the individual forces are different. Militaries of allied nations must work together towards operating more effectively in the theatre and beyond by becoming increasingly interoperable.
The Joint and Coalition Interoperability conference will pay special attention to the current status of recent NATO accession nations and their ongoing programmes to achieve full interoperability with fellow alliance members. The conference will highlight the many facets of Coalition Interoperability, illustrating country specific approaches, updates on technical developments and outline technological and architectural considerations.
Delegates at SMi's Joint and Coalition Interoperability conference will benefit from meeting experts in the field and the opportunity not only hear about the obstacles they are facing but also to identify the latest solutions in which to overcome these.
A unique opportunity to hear from leading experts:
- Richard Williams, Deputy Director, NATO International Staff, Armaments, Defence Investment Division, NATO Headquarters
- Rostislav Kotil, Director, Defence Policy and Strategy Division, Ministry of Defence, Czech Republic
