AbstractThe Most Established Global Conference On Stealth Is Back For Its Ninth Year...
Modern stealth technology has to counter increasingly effective methods of locating and targeting the enemy. Advances in radar, infrared, acoustic, magnetic and passive detection systems has resulted in the need for new and improved low observable design and concepts. This, in turn has led to research into new ways of avoiding detection. This cycle looks set to spin for some time yet.
Stealth 2005 will address the latest developments and concepts in the fields of both stealth and counter stealth research, as well as examining the application of stealth technology to future weapons platforms, and its relevance and potential effectiveness in future conflicts.
This conference offers a unique opportunity to gain an insight from leading industry experts including:
- George Spencer, Director, F-117 SPO, United States Air Force
- Deborah Bailey, Technical Director, B-2 System Program Office, United States Air Force
- Academician Antonoliy Koroteev, Director, Keldysh Research Centre
- James King, Naval Architect, Office of Naval Research, United States Navy
- Damon Swatton, Study Leader, Radar and Acoustics, Dstl
- Dr Michael O’Hanlon, Senior Research Fellow, The Brookings Institution
- Andrew Anderson, Research Fellow, Department of Psychology, University College London
- Professor Igor Alexeff, ASI Plasma Scientist, Chief Scientist - Haleakala Corporation, University of Tennessee
- James O’Bryon, President, The O’Bryon Group, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Department of Defense, US
- Eric Heemskerk, Research Scientist, TNO Physics and Electronics Laboratory
- Professor Bill Solitario, Professor, Northrop Grumman Ship Systems
- Yuri Rayabkin, General Director, OSC Topaz
Benefits of Attending Stealth 2005 include:
- DEVELOP an in-depth knowledge of signature control technologies, requirements and approaches
- UNDERSTAND the integration of LO technology into existing and next generation land, sea and air platforms
- REVIEW developments in IR radar, EW and plasma technology
