SMi Group’s Mobile Deployable Communications Conference will take place as a Virtual Event on 27^th – 28^th January 2021.

Mobile communications systems have become increasingly vital as militaries continue to deploy in degraded environments. And so, as near-peer adversaries evolve and develop ever more complex electronic warfare technologies, militaries must develop stronger and more resilient communications technology in order to withstand the challenges of our modern battlespace.

With this in mind, Mobile Deployable Communications 2021 will bring together programme managers, key decision-makers, industry experts and thought leaders from Europe and beyond to explore the latest developments in communications technology.

Supported by the Portuguese Army, Mobile Deployable Communications is the only conference addressing CIS requirements in the European operational environment through briefs from key regional partners and their international allies.

Key highlights:

• Hear updates and guidance from CIS program managers and communications experts
• Learn about future requirements for equipment and procurement processes
• Discover the latest communication technology to optimise battlefield command and control
• Meet and network with senior military leaders and industry during dedicated networking sessions across two days

IBMATA are pleased to announce that our next European Border Management & Technologies Summit conference and exhibition will take place on the 25th – 27th May 2021 in Brussels, Belgium.

Since our event in New Delhi in 2018, IBMATA has been working with WTTC and other partners to develop a vision for digital borders and seamless travel to take the hassle out of travelling without compromising security. Following workshops in Istanbul and Ottawa in 2019 – and a discussion panel with Border leaders at the International Summit on Borders in Washington DC in June 2019 – we have produced a White Paper setting out a roadmap for the border of the future which we are sharing with border agencies worldwide.

One of the key features of the paper is digital identities and the ever-increasing use of biometrics in immigration and border control solutions.

With the event taking place in the heart of the European Union it will provide attendees a great insight into the future of European borders. With a focus on the latest initiatives planned in the coming years, smart borders, digitalisation of borders and visas, cross-border crimes and new trends and technologies used to assist border agencies.

The Brexit debate has thrust Customs Agencies into the limelight. Regardless of the outcome there is a clear and pressing need to adapt traditional Customs processes into a more streamlined model fit for the future, which is sufficiently adaptable to change. Our expert panel spent much of 2019 developing alternative arrangements for the Irish border using state of the art technology and drive through systems. A session not to be missed!

A new era of ballistic missiles is imminent with a rapid race to develop the latest hypersonic weapons systems. There is also a pivotal issue to develop hypersonic defence systems to protect against the potential threat.

NATO members are working to make sure the right capabilities are in place if the research becomes a reality with hypersonic weapons. With the hypersonic era looking set to become a reality it has shown shortcomings in missile defence systems that are not capable to detect and protect from a hypersonic weapon.

During the 2-day Hypersonic Defense conference and exhibition we will look at the current ballistic missile defence capabilities of leading nations and the importance to fast track modernisation of the current systems. The event will also review the future of missile defence in a hypersonic era and how agencies are researching a new type of weapon and the challenges of simulation tests with hypersonic vehicles.
