Preserving Decision-Making Advantage in the Information Age
NATO and its global partners and allies are preparing to gather once again for the annual Airborne ISR & C2 Battle Management conference, one of the world's most prestigious strategic defence intelligence conferences.Over the past five years, Airborne ISR & C2 Battle Management has built a strong reputation as a key forum for thought leaders in the airborne and defence intelligence communities. The event welcomes over 150 senior decision-makers and subject matter experts from NATO and its allies, and the objectives throughout are to help build trust, link organisational strategic objectives, define problem statements and drive interoperability towards a unified and effective airborne C2ISR enterprise.
As part of this year's theme, the 2018 agenda will focus on better leveraging airborne ISR assets and C2 battle management architectures to enhance effective decision-making across air, space and cyber domains.
