Abstract

With the emphatic shift towards information superiority as a military doctrine in the US and Europe, effective military operations are becoming increasingly important in realising national objectives.

Today missions are more and more likely to be joint or coalition based and the ability for militaries to share information, plans and control is essential to an operation’s success. Mission Planning and Mission Management is a growing field of interest. The design of an operation and its ability to achieve its objective is key to an operations success and therefore a primary concern to the military.

This conference aims to address all aspects of mission management: mission planning, mission rehearsal, mission control and mission monitoring.

Programme highlights:
  • COMPREHEND the topical importance and application of Mission Planning in the military arena
  • DISCOVER the key enablers to establishing joint and service specific planning initiatives
  • ANALYSE the benefits and increasing significance of virtual mission rehearsal and synthetic environments
  • DEVELOP awareness of distributed and embedded training for military operations
  • IDENTIFY technology developments and review situational applications
  • KEEP up-to-date with the changing climate that is Mission Planning through focused networking
