“These speakers represent the most senior collection of Maritime Surveillance and Reconnaissance
Experts across Europe and surrounding regions it is a great honour to be working with them all”
Rear Admiral (Ret’d) Anthony Rix, Former Flag Officer Sea Training, Royal Navy
Dear Colleague,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in the 4th annual Maritime
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Technology event taking place between the
6th and 7th February 2019 in Rome.
We live in an increasingly interconnected world in which developments in
technology are enabling a greater understanding of activity at sea. This has
implications for almost everything that takes place in territorial waters and on
the high seas, both legal and illegal. Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance
activities are carried out by various platforms in varying domains and results in
maritime situational awareness for military and also commercial operators.
This international event brings together experts involved in the development
and management of unmanned maritime systems, airborne ISR platforms, and
space-based assets to discuss contemporary challenges at sea and how to best
tackle them. The application of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and other
technologies will further enhance our capabilities. I hope that we will also touch
on these areas.
There is therefore a need for a high level meeting that brings together senior
military leadership, commercial shipping companies, project decision makers,
and technical experts alongside cutting edge industry solution providers to
collaborate on future endeavours that will not only enhance maritime situational
awareness but also empower nations and commercial companies to better
secure their interests.
Once again, I am delighted to lend my support as the Chairman of this
conferencebecauseIbelievethattheMaritimeReconnaissanceandSurveillance
Technology event is the best forum for fruitful international collaboration.
Could I politely ask that you pay particular attention to our conference agenda
which was put together with great care to give you the very best opportunity
to learn from subject matter experts relating to the enhancement of maritime
situational awareness.
I urge you to join us in February 2019 with many like-minded professionals to
ensure that you too can participate in and benefit from this unique opportunity.
Yours Sincerely,
Rear Admiral (Ret’d) Anthony Rix,
Former Flag Officer Sea Training,
Royal Navy
