The document provides information about the 9th annual Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance conference taking place from 20-23 September 2011 in Rome, Italy.
The conference will allow delegates to learn about procurement plans and capability gaps for maritime reconnaissance assets in countries like Canada, India, the Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, and Italy. Delegates can also discover the UK's plans to expand maritime ISR capability and how gaps will be addressed. Presentations will analyze developments from operations like Unified Protector, Ocean Shield, and Atalanta and assess the utility of non-traditional ISR platforms.
The pre-conference focus day on the 20th will include sessions on improving maritime domain awareness through information
