"Military satellite systems are key enablers for US information superiority and net- centricity. To achieve optimal satellite communications, you need to leverage current satellite capabilities for next generation satellite networks.
2010 is the year when several new MILSATCOM initiatives are set to be developed and deployed. IDGA’s Fourth Annual Military Satellites Summit will focus on the policy, requirements and acquisition needed to enable future opportunities for partnerships for next-generation satellite communications systems.
At this event, you have the opportunity to gain knowledge of the following critical issues:
Current generation satellite requirements vs. next generation satellite networks
Closing the gap between project requirements and resources
Upgrade and integration of communications assets
"
"Intelligence sharing and dissemination has also become a major issue with high-level visibility. Billions of dollars have been allocated toward bolstering aviation and airport security, encouraging the development of dozens of new technologies. With an increase in the reliance of e-ID documents, more attention to perimeter security, and an emphasis on cargo screening, we will see billions more going to airport security. Most officials even admit that airports are still not secure and that we need to create a more formal strategy. Airports are actively buying technology to close the remaining gaps in security. Access control and surveillance are among the top priorities. Government is searching for additional ways to communicate and distribute intelligence data.
IDGA’s Aviation Security Summit aims to address the complexities of securing our Airports and homeland security, while ensuring that air travel and commerce continue uninterrupted. In-depth discussions will consist of an integrated approach to address critical program issues, such as:
Perimeter and facility security Screening technologies, digital imaging, CCTV Biometrics, access control, identity management Crime prevention and security Intelligence dissemination

From SIMNET to the Metaverse - Why is it taking so long?Andy Fawkes
Presented at IT2EC Rotterdam - 25 April 2023 - In 1978, US Air Force Captain Jack Thorpe proposed a network of simulators for combat planning and execution, and this concept was later developed by DARPA in the 1980s as SIMNET (SIMulator NETworking). SIMNET eventually included 260 simulators at 11 sites in the USA and Europe including tank and aircraft simulators, and connected to a real warship and command centres in the early 1990s. Today, there is renewed interest in creating multi-domain simulation capabilities, but it is unclear if any nation has succeeded in building a persistent system similar to SIMNET that integrates live, virtual, and constructive simulations across the whole defence enterprise. The trend towards the "metaverse" may offer an opportunity for the defence sector to establish an enterprise-wide simulation infrastructure that exploits the wider trends in the metaverse and computing. This presentation examines past initiatives to build multi-domain simulation capabilities and consider the issues that may have hindered progress, and then offer a vision for the defence sector to fully realize Thorpe's 45-year-old idea through an integrated enterprise approach to networked simulation in support of all defence activities.
IDGA’s 2010 UAV Summit will deliver a comprehensive overview of these focus areas, requirements, emerging policies, programs, methods and technologies that are accurate and responsive to mission managers’ and commanders’ needs.
Focused and High-level, UAV Summit will present the latest developments in unmanned aviation capabilities and technologies. In addition to the unparalleled speaker faculty, the event will allow you to network with experts from the various service branches, DOD and industry experts who are leading the way in UAV platform development.
Simulation Based Acquisition - Has its Time Come?Andy Fawkes
Presented at the ITEC Advanced Engineering Conference - Stuttgart, Germany - 16 May 2018. Originating in the US DoD in the 1990s, Simulation Based Acquisition or SBA aimed to exploit the then advances in M&S and data management to reduce the time, risk, and resources associated with the defence acquisition and support process. Both technical and non-technical barriers caused SBA to fall out of fashion in the 2000s. We are now in a different era technologically and societally, with the increasing digitisation of manufacturing industries and wider human activities and the drive towards Industry 4.0. Many of the technologically hurdles to SBA are likely to be overcome with advances in simulation, data and AI. However, what is clear from SBA is that to realise its full potential requires significant organisational and cultural change within research and acquisition organisations and wider industry.
All the World's a Stage (Unless you are in the Military)Andy Fawkes
Presented at the RAeS "Simulation Based Training: The Key to Military Operational Capability" Conference, London 22 November 2016 - If military mission training, planning, preparation, command and control, and after action analysis/debriefing were life then there would not be one world or “stage” but many. Military personnel are typically required to carry out their activities singularly and together on a number of different training, simulation and C4ISTAR systems that may work together but have different human interfaces, processes, and digital content that may not be easily shared across systems. This puts additional workloads on the personnel and runs the risk of confusion and reduced operational agility. What if there was only one world or “stage” to support the complete mission cycle? This talk will discuss the challenges in achieving one “stage” when most if not all simulation/C4ISTAR component elements are procured and operated by different teams and sourced from different companies. However, if the organisational and technological challenges can be overcome, might there be additional operational benefits going forward?

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
