SMi reports: The 4th annual Close Air Support conference agenda has been released

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 28, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SMi Group presents the 4th annual Close Air Support (CAS) conference, taking place in London on the 6th and 7th June 2018. CAS is proven to be a key action for reinforcing ground troops close to enemy fire.

The two-day conference will include essential briefings from key military, government and industry figures from the RAF, US Air Force, French Air Force, Canadian Armed Forces, German Air Force, NATO and JAPCC. Speakers will be discussing the latest technology and strategic developments, as well as mission updates from real-time operations.

Event highlights include Keynote Guest Speaker Air Vice-Marshal Raimundo Nogueira Lopes Neto, Deputy Head of the Military Evaluation and Doctrine at Preparation Command, Brazilian Air Force, providing updates on: ‘Employing light attack aircraft platforms to enhance wider mission support’ and Group Captain Mark Manwaring, Chief of Staff, Joint Air Land Organisation, Royal Air Force, presenting on: ‘Driving increased digitalisation of CAS within the Royal Air Force’.

The conference will give an exclusive focus on CAS operations in an increasingly demanding environment, with emphasis on joint fire and air-land integration, platforms and avionics, targeting and delivery, DACAS, C2 and JTAC Training.
