8th Military Antennas Summit

Tracking military needs, highlighting latest advances, and forging new partnerships

Antennas are a critical component of all military communications capabilities. The development of Ground, Air, Sea, and Space-based antennas must keep pace with the development of software radios, vehicle communications systems and SATCOM.

The 8th Military Antennas Summit will cover core areas including:

New progress in the design of military antennas to meet on-the-move demands
Solutions to integrate apertures that would handle most microwave RF functions
Ways to reduce and overcome threats from interference and jamming
Solutions to reduce antenna proliferation
Assessments of military bandwidth demands
The most cost effective production, modification and maintenance procedures for military antenna systems

NEW for 2011:

Focus on multi-band/multi-function antennas
End of main conference wrap-up session – featuring overview and key takeaways you can bring back to the office!
Pre-conference Technology Focus Day, featuring in-depth workshops on emerging technologies
Brand new format! Post-conference Affordable Phased Array Antenna Technologies Workshop
