HALF-DAY WORKSHOP
21st March 2011 - 13:20 to 16:20
Open Source Data: specific lessons
across platforms - laying the
groundwork for the event
Led by Hawk International, participants in this workshop
will learn more about the application of Open Source
Intelligence (OSINT) resources and methodologies.
With increasing attention being paid to OSINT as a
pragmatic toolkit for business, the workshop will focus
in Part One on the methodologies, skills and resources of
OSINT as applied to the defence business in general. Part
Two will focus on the application of OSINT to the air
surveillance and reconnaissance field, showing how
raw information can be turned into actionable business
intelligence - for instance, in market analysis or
competitive landscaping. This course will set the scene for
the event from a business perspective vital to today’s Air
ISR Programme Manager and chief Aquisition Officer.
Workshop Leader:
Mr Tim Mahon, Senior Consultant, Hawk ISM
At Air Surveillance & Reconnaissance
2011 you will:
Learn from a comprehensive 360° examination
of current and future Air ISR procurement
priorities from around the world including the
Eurohawk, MC12, King Air, CP140 and Griffen.
Examine how these platforms offer commands on
the ground the timely and accurate information they
need for all ground operations
Take home exclusive insight into where existing
military Air ISR platforms can be integrated through
both platform specific and independent solutions - and
through further developing standards in both radar and
optics technologies. This will include developments
for information exploitation, maximisation of data
analysis and data formatting
Participate in interactive NATO led panel
discussions on both the future of UAVs and the
question of Air ISR integration. These sessions will
facilitate a freer and more candid discussion of the
future challenges facing those in the Air ISR community
Have an opportunity to benchmark your current
capabilities next to international Air ISR
procurement and through life managers. Network
with major AIR ISR leaders from: the US, Canada,
India, Brazil, Germany, France and the UK

Dear Colleague,
As you are all too aware, the goal of air surveillance and reconnaissance is to
give a command on the ground the information they requested or needed in a
timely and coherent manner. The need for this has grown exponentially over
the last decade. Indeed, in 2009 there were 18,898 air surveillance missions
over Afghanistan alone, in September 2010 there were 11,229.
Air ISR systems and platforms are in chronic demand. However, individual
assets need to be fully integrated and analysed so that intelligence can be
effectively disseminated and acted on in real time. The global market for UAVs
alone is predicted to top $80Bn over the next ten years and, following high profile
capability gaps, the manned air surveillance market is booming. The integration
of the command, control and analysis of information functions through varying
platforms and systems has jumped to the forefront of the agenda.
I would like to invite you to the world’s foremost event for air ISR requirements
managers as well as operators and developers of air ISR technology and
platforms. The symposium is now in its 8th successive year and if you were
not at the 2010 event, you will have missed excellent presentations and
discussions on topics ranging from Global Hawk to imagery exploitation. We
welcomed high profile delegates from the UK MoD, the USAF, French MOD &
DGA, Swedish FMV, German MoD, NATO - NAMSA and HQ, the Singaporean
Air Force, the Egyptian and South African MoDs.
This year, the event will bring together decision makers from over ten
countries including: the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Brazil, India,
Malaysia, the Netherlands and Sweden.
The energy and dedication from all participants this year has been exceptional.
I am pleased to announce a fresh agenda with a new cast of panel
members in a new and innovative format. NATO led panel discussions on
all ISR platform types and key requirement managers will ensure the event is
probing, insightful and interactive.
I am particularly delighted to welcome Major General Blondin, Commander of
the Canadian 1st Division and NORAD Region and welcome back Major
General Hansen,now Deputy Commander of the Joint Functional Component
Command for Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance - to the event. I
would like to take this opportunity to thank both them and all speakers for their
valuable contributions.
I look forward to welcoming you in London.

“Aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities
are crucial to coalition operations both in conflict and in response to
natural disaster. It is incumbent on the U.S. and allied nations to ensure
future ISR systems are interoperable with one another, flexible in
responding to a multitude of problem sets, and inclusive of a variety of
collection methodologies. Forums like this are essential to fostering the
dialogue that gets us there.”

SECTION 1 - UAVs
10.50 PANEL DISCUSSION - IS THERE A ‘FINAL FRONTIER’ FOR
UAV SURVEILLANCE & RECONNAISSANCE? AN ANALYSIS
OF TESTING, EVALUATION AND FUTURE DESIGN
There is not yet a standard type of UAV. As more countries
develop their own or are in the market to test and evaluate
already existing platforms, is it time the questions were
asked - is there an end goal or ‘final frontier’ for UAV
surveillance and reconnaissance or have they emerged as
multifunctional as manned aircraft? What is current testing
and evaluation revealing about future trends and current
usages? After current theatre operations come to a close,
can UAVs be adapted for the challenges of the future - be
they future military operations or security and how can
they be work alongside civilian airspace?

15.20 PANEL DISCUSSION - CAN AIR ISR BE EFFECTIVELY
INTEGRATED?
Land-based air surveillance and reconnaissance platforms
and technology are developing rapidly. There is a risk that
separate components will develop at different rates
across different standards. Is it possible to link them all
and if so, how? Is there an inherent need for all in one
systems from the start or is there a role for software
integration, tactical data links (TDLs) or platform
autonomous systems?

17.20 CYBER SECURITY: MILITARY UAV & ISR
SURVEILLANCE AND RECONNAISSANCE
Increased interconnectivity between Air ISR platforms and
systems has vastly improved the performance and quality of
information collected and, in many cases, disseminated to
commands on the ground. However, this has left many
platforms open to interception and possible future
subversion though cyber attack. Cyber Security Malaysia
has a unique perspective; defending Air ISR systems which
carry out tasks ranging between border control and water
supply monitoring. This spotlight presentation will address:
• Defending against interception and subversion
• Software anomalies - inherent pre-programming problems?
• Air surveillance and reconnaissance and denial of service attacks
