2nd INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON “PARADIGM SHIFT IN COMMUNICATION TO SUPPORT
BATTLEFIELD MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS”
14- 15 April 2009: Hotel Taj Palace, New Delhi
Confederation of Indian Industry in association with the Directorate General of Information Systems, Indian Army is pleased to announce the 2nd International Seminar “Paradigm Shift in Communication to support Battlefield Management Systems” on 14 – 15 April 2009 at Hotel Taj Palace, Sardar Patel Marg, New Delhi.
The army’s current decades-old tactical communications system served well to support yesterday’s command, control, and support services that relied totally on voice. But today’s and future soldier will critically depend on a much broader spectrum of information services: video, graphics data, imagery, collaborative planning tools, remote interactive battlefield operating systems, and distributed data bases.
The Indian Army has embarked upon an aggressive digitisation program, and is rapidly changing its doctrine and tactics. The digitization programme of Indian Army demands a many fold increase in communications capacity; as well as great advances in information security, mobility, efficiency and transparency. With the tremendous technological advances in communications, automation, and network management in recent years, a communications network responsive to the Army’s new information needs is competitively implementable.
Given this background the seminar is organised with the following key objectives:
Bring about awareness of current and future trends in tactical communication systems
Identify technologies which support the communication requirement of BMS
Identify communication services which keep all elements of battalion / regiment in situational awareness loop.
Provide dynamic network management system which can sustain the action of grouping / regrouping in tactical battle area
Maintain the integrity of BMS despite disparate levels of security classification of the users.
Participants at this Seminar will include senior officials from the Indian Army, senior officials representing the core area of information systems from the Ministry of Defence (MoD), Indian Air Force, Indian Navy, Defence Research & Development Organisation etc. besides representatives from industry.
Members are encouraged to participate at this International Seminar. Members are also invited to exhibit their technology / product solutions by taking exhibition space.
