Benefits of Attending

Electronic warfare is an essential area of investment for all military organisations. However, even with nearly $30billion expected to be spent in this area, current operations have suffered combat-related losses to unsophisticated air defence systems.

Development of EW technology, upgrades to the EW systems in aircraft and the most innovative tactics and training have not stopped the threat of advanced radar and IR-guided weapon technologies. The proliferation of Man-Portable Air Defence Systems (MANPADS) represents an immediate challenge that must be tackled urgently and despite all efforts of the defence industry air crews are still at high risk.

Defence IQ’s Electronic Warfare (EW) conference is widely recognised by the community as the key event in the calendar providing insights, technological developments and programme updates from airborne platforms in use across the world. It is an essential networking opportunity to meet peers responsible for setting future requirements for platform protection and airborne electronic attack capabilities.

Key themes at Electronic Warfare 2009

• Next Generation SEAD: Key programme updates on the rapid advances to ensure control of the electromagnetic battlespace including the US Navy Next Generation Jammer and EA-18G Growler
• Countering MANPADS: Learn from the DoHS programme to challenge the growing asymmetric threat to aircraft from Man-Portable Air Defence Systems
• International EW Capability Improvement: Including the stand up of the Canadian Electronic Warfare Support squadron, the Hungarian Air Force Gripen JAS 39, the work of the Slovakian Air Force and the Royal New Zealand Air Force
• Rotary Wing EW: See how EW capability has been enhanced with case studies from US ARMY CH-47, Royal Navy Merlin and technological innovations in helicopter self protection
• Training for EW Missions: Comprehensive examinations of new EW simulation technologies and methods to provide realistic training with complex technologies. Hear from the US Air Force Polygone EW Range and the FMV approach to EW training

The battle to control the electromagnetic spectrum intensifies and it is essential to stay ahead of the curve. The 8th annual Electronic Warfare conference is designed to provide you with the opportunity to access an important source of insights, technological developments and programme updates as well as a vital networking gathering.
