Information superiority and ballistic missile defence are two key tenets of modern defence capability and the militarization of space has introduced hi-tech challenges to the armed forces’ management of these tenets.
Furthermore, as demonstrated during the Libya campaign, space-based ISR systems ensure firepower precision and limit civilian casualties when conducting military operations. The acquisition or sharing of this capability is therefore a must for all allied armed forces.
Complementing our leading satellite communications portfolio, SMi’s annual MilSpace conference draws on areas including Global Navigation Satellite Systems, Earth Observation Satellites, ISR, Missile Defence and Space Data. The conference highlights how the space domain is being utilized for both offensive and defensive means by those at the cutting edge of space technologies. It will also provoke discussion as to how future missions will be won and lost in the outer atmosphere and beyond.
