Today’s military, government and first responders push high-quality imagery capture to levels not possible in the past. Now you can gain an edge in this content-rich environment, one that dramatically improves operations on the ground, in the air and at sea, at the NAB Show’s first-ever Military and Government Summit.
The three-day Summit, produced in partnership with Harris Corporation, Raytheon, ITT, and other leading defense organizations, is supported by the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)), and will be held from April 21-23, 2009, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Summit will identify ways in which government and military officials can use commercial video technologies for defense and emergency response applications. Plus, attendees will have access to the NAB Show floor — the world’s largest video marketplace, which opens on Monday, April 20th.
The Summit will feature an opening keynote by Kevin P. Meiners of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSD). The Summit’s education program will be led by conference chair Commander Joseph A. Smith, U.S. Navy, Military Deputy Sensor Assimilation Division (ASX), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. (Please see his interview in the soon-to-be released January issue of MilsatMagazine on Page 33.)
“The Summit will unite government and non-government officials to examine the strong role video technology plays in military applications,” said Commander Smith. “As the world’s largest digital media event, the NAB Show provides the perfect platform to examine this issue.”
Additional presentations will be led by military, government, industry, and academia, as well as workshops, case studies and technical papers by leading defense companies. Other invited speakers include: Maj. Gen. John M. Custer, U.S. Army, Commander, USAIC and Ft. Huachuca and Vice Adm. Robert B. Murrett, U.S. Navy, Director, NGA.
