Better – Faster – Cheaper @ IDGA’s 4th Air Launched Weapons Conference

August 10, 2009

From August 24-25, in Vienna, Virginia at the Sheraton Premiere at Tysons Corner Hotel, IDGA’s 4th Air Launched Weapons conference will delve into the challenges faced by all branches of the services when it comes to making weapons cheaper and more efficient. These systems must be updated to minimize civilian casualties, hit appropriate targets and continue measure up to enemy threats.

Air operations have evolved to the point where multi-mission capabilities and multi-role fighters are integrated into a more adaptable and flexible form of air power. Current fighter platforms carry a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground ordinance which is extending combat effectiveness and saving the lives of troops on the ground.

IDGA’s 4th Annual Air-Launched Weapons Summit will cover the ever more pivotal role in the way combat operations are conducted across the globe. OIF and OEF have shown that precision strike weapons are a necessity in the modern, urban warfare environment. This event will cover:
  • Program Needs and Requirements
  • Increasing Weapon System Effectiveness While Reducing Civilian Casualties
  • UAV Weapon Integration
Learn more about developing and deploying better, faster, and cheaper air-launched weapons. You will have the unique opportunity to interact and network with an audience of military, government, academic and private sector leaders.
  • Operational needs and requirements
  • Weapons systems integration
  • Weapons systems development
  • Systems engineering
  • Precision strike
Sheraton Premiere Virginia At this event, Program Managers will discuss:
  • Operational needs and requirements
  • Weapons systems integration
  • Weapons systems development
  • Systems engineering
  • Current resource allocation efforts as they pertain to weapon systems development, deployment, needs and requirements
