Without Tactical Data Links (TDLs), network capabilities and aspirations for information superiority are an unachievable goal. TDLs are the business end of modern military communications and information sharing; they command serious investment from the military.

Budgets are tight, every capability must be justified and Tactical Data Links must continue to evolve?

Defence IQ?s 5th annual international Tactical Data Links conference will bring together senior military personnel from TDL programmes and leading figures from industry. This is the ideal opportunity to gain information on integration, next generation technologies and interoperability and to network with principal decision makers, to find out the key future challenges facing those in the military engaged with TDLs.

Ensuring successful integration and interoperability are two of the military?s
top priorities. With more nations coming into the fold, especially in the Central
and Eastern European (CEE) region, the issues of interoperability and
integration are crucial for any military looking for a clear strategic future in
successful applications of TDL?S .

We Are Delighted To Announce The Following Speakers:

?Colonel Marek Grzybowski, Chairman of the US-PL TDL Management
Committee, General Staff, Polish Armed Forces
?Commander Andreas Kernchen, Chief Tactical Data Link Management
Section (J3 Joint Operations Support), NATO Allied Command Operations
?Lieutenant Commander John Ling, Senior Observer / Executive Officer,
857 Naval Air Squadron (Seaking Airborne Surveillance and Control),
Royal Navy
?Flight Lieutenant Kenneth Moore, AWACS1 (Data Links), E-3D Operational Evaluation Squadron, Royal Air Force
?Lieutenant Rob McKee, Avionics & Mission Systems Senior Trials Officer
Sea King ASaC Mk 7 Trials Unit, Royal Navy
?Dr Dan Gonzales, TDL Research Project Lead and Senior Scientist, RAND Corporation

Join this eagerly anticipated event and take home new indications of key future requirements, new avenues of technology development and a heightened understanding of the spectrum of solutions currently available
in the TDL market.

Enabling the high confidence, real-time application of tactical options and weapons in the Area of Responsibility

The prevention of fratricide is a high priority. However, the ability to manoeuvre without restraint and engage targets is one of the most important capabilities that a well designed and integrated Combat ID system can facilitate. However, the balance has to be struck between technology and training, and with limited resources, the military must very often attempt to do the best with what it has. How are you responding to this challenge?

Taking place in London, January 29th-31st, Defence IQ?s Combat Identification event will deliver a host of case studies and updates to keep you abreast of your counterparts? activities and use of combat identification technologies and procedures. The event brings together the leading individuals from military and civilian identification programmes, the key innovators from industry and the most respected academics in the field to analyse and discuss latest developments, challenges and opportunities that have emerged in this area over the last 12 months. The primary topics to be addressed will include:

?Ex Bold Quest: What are the results from the recent exercise? Where does the community go from here?

?Target ID, Situational Awareness and TTPs: Is the balance being struck successfully? What are the advancements being made in blue, red and grey force tracking? How can training reduce fratricide?

?Human Factors: What is the psychological process that a soldier goes through when preparing to fire? Do current Combat ID systems take this vital concept into account?

?Technological Developments: What are the latest developments in technology for Combat Identification and force tracking? Is the architecture behind it sufficient for multinational interoperability?

Combat Identification 2008 is the only event in Europe this year to bring together the right people to discuss these critical issues and offer insight into the most important programmes and strategies.

Information warfare and security are at the forefront of modern defence strategies. Strong strands of research and interest are developing in the area, including the understanding of threats and risks to information systems, the development of a strong security culture, as well as incident detection and post incident investigation.

Important information

The selection panel of the conference committee will consider all abstracts received by the submission deadline to ensure that the proposed paper is relevant to the Conference. The authors of abstracts that describe a relevant paper will receive a notification of abstract selection. All full papers will be double-blind reviewed by members of the conference committee to ensure an adequate standard, that the proposed subject of their abstract has been followed, that the paper is of a suitable length, the standard of English is adequate and the paper is appropriately referenced. Papers that are accepted will be published in the conference proceedings providing at least one author registers and presents the work at the Conference (see the registration section of the conference website for more information about registration). Due to the large number of papers expected for this conference, the committee only allows an author to present one paper. Therefore if multiple papers are accepted for presentation different co-authors need to present each paper.

In Africa, as you know, ?Peace-building? efforts include a range of
challenges such as, assisting with elections, setting up a legal system,
disarmament of former soldiers, reforming police and military forces and
other efforts. The main point is to, through conflict resolution, support the
country?s reconstruction and prevent it from falling back into violence.
This seems easy enough but, when you take into account the
logistical nightmares that these tasks involve it becomes awfully
overwhelming. Without the most up-to-date knowledge and
information about lessons learned and successes achieved without
which this becomes almost impossible.
To ensure that you are not caught in the dark ? attend the 3rd
Annual Peacekeeping Africa ? 2008. The event now offers more case
studies, international participation, panel discussions and networking
opportunities. With more than 200 delegates, Peacekeeping Africa also
includes specialised streams ? allowing you to select the session with
the correct level of maturity for you ? building on 2007?s event.
This event will enable increased peace building capacity in Africa by
bringing together various military experts, think tanks, humanitarians,
policymakers and other professionals.
At Peacekeeping Africa we have recruited those that are the leaders
in peacekeeping, reconstruction and rehabilitation from all over Africa
addressing the subjects that you need to know more about. This year?s
programme will focus upon:
? Evaluating the current state of peacekeeping, security and terrorism
in Africa
? Maintaining the balance between ordinary policing and conventional
warfare when conducting operations of counter insurgency
? Lessons learnt during peacekeeping operations in Africa
? Establishing the role of non-government organisations in
peacekeeping operations in Africa
? Implementing successful post conflict rehabilitation strategies
? Managing your peacekeeping operations through effective project
management and logistics planning
? Overcoming challenges of interoperability
Last year Peacekeeping Africa delivered essential information to over
120 professionals. Take a look at www.peacekeepingafrica.com to
see a summary of the event in 2007 and reports from all of the key-note
presentations.

With an influx of advanced electronic equipment and weapons provided to the military, more energy and power solutions are required. It therefore becomes increasingly essential to share knowledge and integrate resources to provide modern military missions with efficient and reliable power sources that are easy to transport and utilize.

In its fifth year, IDGA’s Tactical Power Source Summit broadens its scope by expanding the agenda to include the full spectrum of mobile power solutions: from micro-scale batteries, to mobile electric generators. Attend sessions on research and development advancements and discover how these can accomodate the military’s tactical power requirements.
