Agile Networks For Operations In Asia

BOA Image

Ten years after Col (R'td) Fred Stein and others conceived of network centricity, militaries are asking more of their networks.

They must be:


  • AGILE enough for a variety of missions, from humanitarian aid to high intensity warfighting, yet allowing nations to maintain their sovereignty
  • SECURE enough to withstand cyber attacks
  • INCLUSIVE enough to not leave some strategic partners out of the data environment

Yet we still don't have enough answers. The original challenge of interoperability among services and across international lines remains for the majority of militaries in Asia.

Join fellow C4ISR and other related military and industry leaders at Network Centric Operations (NCO) Asia 2009, the ONLY Asia-based event focused on how to achieve network centric capabilities and one of the very few events that provides a forum for high level C4ISR leaders.

What's New for 2009 Event Goals Include

Crisis management topics
Italy's earthquake, Somalia's pirates and other case studies

Enabling technologies
Satellites, UAVs, datalinks and others

Training perspectives
Simulation aids, human elements, the need for simple designs

New international perspectives from:
Republic of Korea, Thailand, Italy, Indonesia and others
