There have been 11 successful programs and this year will be SMi Group's number 12—2017's attendees will explore key situational awareness challenges in an increasingly contested, congested and competitive space.
Registration is now open for SMi Group's 12th Annual Military Space Situational Awareness taking place in London on April 26th and 27th. The venue will be held at Copthorne Tara Hotel, Scarsdale Place, Kensington, London, United Kingdom. A special early bird offer is available through January 31st.
Space Situational Awareness remains a key priority for armed forces capable of operating above the Earth. Space is now extremely contested, congested and competitive as more and more countries and organizations gain access to space technology. High amounts of orbiting traffic is not the only threat; space weather, debris and ground based electronic and cyber threats can also have a massive impact by disrupting satellite activity
Now in its twelve year, 2017’s agenda will explore key situational awareness challenges in an increasingly contested, congested and competitive space that covers topical themes, such as:
- national updates on SSA
- command and control
- space weather
- traffic management
- optical/imaging sensors
Attendees will attend innovative presentations from senior industry and military personnel, working with active projects on enhancing space domain awareness for the international community.
