AbstractModern stealth technology has to counter increasingly effective ways of finding the enemy, by radar, infrared or acoustic detection. This event will discuss stealth technologies as weapon systems try to keep up with and shoot down increasingly stealthy targets. SMi's 7th Annual Signature Management: The Pursuit of Stealth conference will examine the latest developments in this field to enable you to maximise the benefit of stealth.
This conference has a wide scope as it covers stealth issues for Naval, including Submarine, Aircraft and Ground Stealth. Therefore the conference will address stealth technology for all three services, focusing on the key technologies and issues. It will look at the fundamentals of stealth technology, key developments and how this will effect the tri-service arena.
This event will provide you with a detailed analysis of stealth technology. In particular, it will explore the advancements in tools and technologies for minimising signatures and signals. Other topics to be addressed include:
- International stealth developments and considerations
- Key technologies in Signature Management
- The importance of naval platform signatures
- Design of aircraft to enhance stealth
- New IR radar systems that could render stealth technology obsolete
- DISCOVER key technologies in signature management
- UNDERSTAND the growing importance and application of stealth materials and designs
- REVIEW developments in IR radar technology
- IDENTIFY effective methods to enhance stealth design
- MAXIMISE networking opportunities in a globally attended forum
