The Aims & Objectives of the Conference
The strategic defence against a foreign military attack is of paramount importance to any country. During the 20th century the concept of strategic defence has been revolutionised by new weapons, especially by intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) equipped with nuclear warheads and by the development of aircraft. The events of 11 September have caused us to look again at some aspects of air defence. For many years there have been measures in place to detect, deter and, if necessary, destroy aircraft that threatened. However, advances in stealthy and fast moving strategic and tactical weapon systems, as well as strategic and tactical ballistic missiles, operating either individually or in combination, necessitates the development and application of effective guidance and control techniques for advanced air-defence.
Consequently, Air Defence must be considered in a "system-of-systems" context and not viewed in isolation. It must be considered in terms of the threat it is intended to counter, as well as the physical and operational environments in which it is employed. Air Defence solutions are fundamentally driven by the operational environment, technology and funding. Rapid technological advances are fuelling a duel of spiralling sophistication between the threat on the one hand and air defence systems on the other.
This conference will address the current world view on Air Defence, giving a broad and varied perspective by concentrating on developments in the non-western world as well as those in the west. It will demonstrate and divulge the future technologies for air defence in context with the ever-changing operational situational threat for passive, active and counter defence. An advanced AD system must anticipate potential improvements of the air threat in terms of performance and increase of the number of combat application modes. For these purposes an AD system and its main components must have a certain margin of capabilities to guarantee its adaptation to the growing performance of air threat. The greater need for flexibility in collective defence will be explored by discussing the functional integration of maritime air capabilities, extended air defence to include missile defence, enlargement and Peace Support Operations/Crisis Response Operations.
“A perfect conference event to update knowledge and participate in new trends and developments”
