San Diego event to discuss robotic platforms -- their role and management
Robotic platforms perform core and more military and first response missions; the Security Network event in San Diego will discuss these platforms, their missions, payload, and management
If you are interested in robotics, and your travel plans for late September are not yet firm, you may want to consider showing up at the “C4ISR, Robot Platforms & Sensors Conference & Exposition: Ensuring Secure Information Sharing from Sensor to Responder,” which will be held 24-25 in San Diego. We have been covering the rise of robotics — just the other day we reported that the U.S. military’s goal is to turn approximately 30 percent of the army into robotic forces by 2020 (HS Daily Wire, 5 August 2008) — and the San Diego event, organized by the Security Network, will focus on robotic platforms and their growing role in first response and military missions.
The event will feature speakers and panelists from government agencies such as California Office of Homeland Security, DHS S&T, NSA, SPAWAR, SPAWAR Systems Center, and other military and government organizations. There will also be representatives of leading companies in the private sector. The speakers will speak on seven panels covering the robotic platforms, their missions, and their management:
- C4I for the military — development & implementation
- Putting C4I to work in civilian government
- Identify management & information assurance — an essential education, industry & military partnership
- The platform — air, land, and sea
- The payload — cameras, sensors & weapons
- The software — managing from near & far and networking
- Tying it all together: Simulators, training & testing
The event will also have a technology exposition, part of which will include a small product demonstration area where companies can demo their technologies.
