AbstractAt this conference you will learn about the challenges of planning in Iraq and Afghanistan from experienced mission planners. Attend and hear about the most recent developments of the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) and NATO’s Air Command and Control System (NATO ACCS).
This conference will cover both the technological improvements in mission planning systems as well as the significant challenges of interoperability and standardization. Key military players will outline civil military cooperation and the challenges of planning within coalitions. Technical experts will discuss real-time mission planning, technical challenges and system requirements.
By attending this event you will have the opportunity to discuss solutions to these multifaceted challenges with other mission planning experts.
This event will discuss the significant changes in mission planning technology since our previous Mission Planning conference in 2006 including new tools that have been developed to plan complex missions in Iraq, Afghanistan and in International Peace Operations.
Key topics in 2008 include:
- An Overview of Modern Threats: What have mission planners learned from in-theatre experience? How to anticipate a variety of scenarios, respond to crises, asymmetric conflict and terrorism.
- Integrating Crucial Data: How to improve situational awareness by integrating accurate data. Learn how to map both the physical and human terrain.
- Strengthening International Cooperation: Understand the challenges of interoperability of planning systems within coalitions. Learn how to maintain independent capability while planning within coalitions.
- Enhancing Communication with Command and Control: How to improve command and control and the flow of data in network centric warfare.
