Dear Colleague,
I am delighted to announce that Defence IQ’s Airborne ISR & C2 Battle Management
symposium will be coming to the United States on the 18th - 20th of November 2014.
The United States, at the cutting edge of defense innovation and development, has a
diverse and rich ISR community well placed to share their latest policy, strategy and
programs to meet the next generation of demands on Airborne ISR.
The proliferation of Airborne ISR technologies over the past decade of conflict in the
Middle East and Central Asia and has led to these assets becoming a mission critical
component in operations. Now, as attention turns to new areas of interest in the Pacific
and providing global strategic awareness, maintaining capability to maximise existing
assets and building mutually beneficial partnerships begins to grow in prevalence.
To share and explore their thoughts on the future direction of ISR, it is an honour to
present the most senior panel of experts ever assembled at one of our ISR events.With
exceptional senior officers from the Department of Defense,Air Force,Army and Navy,
the symposium will provide a holistic overview of current challenges and solutions being
considered by the worlds leading experts.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact our
enquiries team on +44 (0) 207 368 9737 – and remember if you book before 29th
August, you can save up to $400 on the price of the conference.
I look forward to meeting you Washington in November for three days of innovative
discussions and engaging presentations.

09.00 Chairman’s Welcome & Opening Remarks
09.10 Key Note Address: Building Partnerships And Enhancing Existing Relationships To Improve ISR Capabilities
by Major General Gregg Potter, Deputy Director, Signals Intelligence Directorate, National Security Agency
Maximizing Situational Awareness In New Austere Areas Of Interest
09.50 Workshop: Extending The Reach Of Fixed Wing ISR To New Diverse Regions Of Interest with the North American
Aerospace Defense Command
The shrinking of the polar ice caps has dramatically changed the once static mass of the Arctic Circle and it is now a
key geostrategic region as its potential for oil, gas and mineral exploitation is realized.The opening of new transportation
routes presents new opportunities as well as new border vulnerabilities.The complex challenges surrounding this
transformation have direct implications on US National security and call for a comprehensive ISR strategy to both explore
and protect national interests.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a combined organization of the United States and Canada
that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and defense for North America. In this interactive workshop they will
explore NORAD’s mission and assess the capabilities of current surveillance systems and the options available for future
surveillance to achieve this.They will then offer a comprehensive insight into their increasing interest in the Arctic, the
mission requirements for this and how they are meeting the capability gap of expanding responsibilities through manned
fixed wing ISR.

Operating ISR in Contested Air Space
14.30 Workshop: Joint Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance in Contested Airspace with Dr Robert P. Haffa
Former Head of Department of Political Science at the USA Air Force Academy
In the past decade of combat operations ISR has been conducted in permissive air space.The proliferation of assets has
led to a fleet which is not optimised for A2/AD operations and as attention shifts to future operating environments, which
will not be conducted with the freedom of the skies, how do we plan to meet this?
In this workshop Dr. Robert P. Haffa, will review the ISR networks that proved so successful in the uncontested airspace
operations of Afghanistan and Iraq.This analysis will explore the platforms, sensors, and integration systems which
conducted operations.Their capabilities will then be assessed on how they best meet current strategic tasking defined by
the US Department of Defense. Solutions to the capability gaps and suggested areas of investment will be identified that
best meet strategic requirements.

Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance and C2 Battle Management
Market Overview
The global market for airborne intelligence, surveillance
and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms and payloads is
thriving, with recent assessments pegging its latest
value at close to $20 billion and forecasts of up to $43
billion by 2020. Providing a high-end, versatile capability
that offers broad situational awareness, airborne ISR
is the force multiplier that no modern military can be
without – and recognition of this fact has led to a race
for information superiority in the sky.
The market comprises a range of vital systems from maritime
patrol aircraft to AEW&C aircraft and UAVs, all of which are
seeing strong acquisition across every major region.The recent
campaigns in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya have proven that forces
now rely on all of these specialised aircraft to carry out efficient
and successful missions, from countering insurgent activity,
protecting local populations and identifying potential threats
from land, air or sea. Civil ISR spending is also on the rise, lending
further weight to the prospects of this expanding market.
Given the widespread race for airborne information, the
integration and interoperability of these systems is of course
playing a major focal point for the future of joint force operations.
With many nations prioritising the need to share information
and ISR resources with partners and allies, new opportunities for
commercial providers have come into play in line with the range
of new challenges inherent to the rapid advance of technology.
Global outlook
In the United States, a planned replacement effort for the
Northrop Grumman E-8 Joint Surveillance Target Attack
Radar System (Joint STARS) may be built using a new“agile”
acquisition paradigm that emphasises modularity and open
architecture.Among the contenders for the JSTARS replacement
are the Gulfstream G650, the Bombardier Global 6000, and a
ground surveillance version of the Boeing 737 (akin to the P-8
Poseidon). Many other international companies are actively
pursuing contracts for systems and sub-systems. In mid-2014,
several E-2C Hawkeyes were sent to Iraq as serious conflict
reignited. Northrop Grumman was awarded a $3.6 billion
contract to supply 25 more E-2Ds to the US military, bringing the
total number contracted to 50 aircraft. Boeing, during the same
period, secured a $250m contract to upgrade the Nato’s E-3
Sentry airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft
fleet.
On the unmanned front, the US Air Force’s RQ-4 Global Hawk,
a wide area surveillance UAS, completed its 100th operational
mission in Southwest Asia, continuing to prove the viability of
the system.While the MQ-1 Predator fleet is to soon be retired
for the Reaper MQ-9, the platform has proved useful as an
intelligence gatherer. MQ-9 Block 5 upgrades have allowed for
heavier payloads, as well as simultaneous communications
between multiple air-to-air and air-to-ground parties, secure
data links, and an increased data transmission capacity.The US
Navy’s Triton remains in testing phase but will support a wide
range of missions including maritime patrol and search and
rescue, offering 24 hour endurance at altitudes over 10 miles
and coverage of 1 million square nautical miles of ocean within a
single mission.
Canada has shelved plans to acquire a complete manned ISR
platform solution owing to security and technical feasibility, but
will instead competitively procure some elements and obtain
others directly from the US government. Its fleet of Lockheed CP-
140 Aurora MPAs are to be replaced from 2026 with a new long-
range, multi-mission command and control and ISR platform.
Elsewhere in the world, the Middle East is shaping up to be a
hub for the intelligence aircraft market over the next decade as
the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members seek to buy AEW
aircraft and with the US looks to establish a Centre of Excellence
in the region.Turkey’s modernisation has seen it join the ranks
of those able to deploy an advanced AEW&C capability, while
the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia are just three of the significant
countries contemplating upgrades and further options on
unmanned surveillance and early warning aircraft.The latter, for
example, is believed to be nearing a $2 billion E-3 fleet upgrade
programme.
European nations are very much concerned with the potential of
unmanned ISR, seeing potential cost savings in more numerous
remote systems as ISAF forces return home to reassess the
needs of tomorrow.The relatively permissive environment of
Afghanistan is unlikely to reflect future campaigns, which may
instead propose a battlespace featuring anti-access, area-denial
systems (A2/D2), a risk to manned, low-altitude aircraft.The
United States is likewise doing what it can today to better the
likelihood of stealth and collaboration with its international
partners, along with tackling the challenges of mass data fusion
and storage.
French and UK eyes in the sky have also seen success in Mali, and
with a number of emerging conflicts in Africa coming to the fore,
peacekeeping forces are turning to these resources to stay on
top of militant activity.Armed Forces from Nigeria to Kenya are
also deploying their own ISR assets to curb other deep-rooted
problems from poaching to drug trafficking, demonstrating a
burgeoning ground for sales.
Across Asia and the Pacific, the need for huge area coverage
coupled with border security and defense zone concerns have led
to string of heavy investments, with the likes of India considering
further expenditure on brand new aircraft, and the likes of China,
Japan and the Republic of Korea all announcing upgrades to
unmanned and AEW&C systems, owing to heightened territorial
tensions in the South and East China Seas. Smaller nations within
this region, including Vietnam, Singapore and Indonesia, have
also seen fit to pursue the acquisition of new ISR assets. Further
south,Australia has been readying its new fleet of Wedgetails,
promising to offer one of the finest systems in the world.
Developments in South America include Brazil’s sweeping
modernisation efforts extending to the airborne space, placing
emphasis to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars on AEW
upgrades as a key component to expanding the operational
capacity of the air force. Surveillance aircraft are said to have
been invaluable in the fight against drug-trafficking, proving
to be a potential game-changer in Colombia, Mexico and the
Dominican Republic.
The Arctic is also a slowly but steadily emerging opportunity for
the ISR industry, with nations invested in the region announcing
key budget allocations.The protection of natural resources and
the at-risk environment, together with a distinct lack of recent
investment into state-of-the-art systems capable of operating
in such a large and unforgiving area, the need for improvements
cannot be underestimated.Developments in South America
include Brazil’s sweeping modernisation efforts extending to
the airborne space, placing emphasis to the tune of hundreds
of millions of dollars on AEW upgrades as a key component to
expanding the operational capacity of the air force. Surveillance
aircraft are said to have been invaluable in the fight against drug-
