PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP HOSTED BY COBHAM | 26TH NOVEMBER 2012 Workshop Overview In Association With Satellite links provide a key capability widely used by military commanders for tactical communications. UHF and L-Band systems are in widespread use; however, the adoption of higher frequency, higher data rate, systems has been “the next big thing” for a number of years and, for land systems, reality has never quite matched expectations. This workshop will explore the key technical and commercial enablers and challenges that affect the success of higher frequency broadband tactical services. Bringing in perspectives from satellite operators, service providers and equipment suppliers, the workshop will explore these challenges in the context of the current pressures on defence spending and look at the prospects for broadband tactical satellite communications over the next decade. Who Should Attend? The workshop is aimed at those involved in the design, specification, AGENDA procurement, installation and use of tactical SatCom systems. Delegates will gain a broad understanding of the challenges facing 13.00 the supply chain for high frequency satellite communication Registration & Coffee systems, helping them to understand the key elements of successful systems, and to get an industry-wide perspective on the prospects for their use and deployment in the future. 13.30 Setting the scene • The insatiable demand for satellite bandwidth • Early days of satellite communications on the move (SOTM) • SOTM in the Naval environment • SOTM on military aircraft and UAVs • Tactical satellite communications on the battlefield About your Workshop Leader Martin Shelley is Bid Manager at Cobham Technical 14.30 Services.

Astrium invites its customers and industry partners to join the celebrations with a “traditionally British” cocktail reception onboard HMS Belfast. SMi Group is a global events organiser specialising in business to business conferences, workshops and masterclasses. To further enhance the SMi experience, we have launched our very own SMi Event Communities. These will be exclusive, private and secure communities in which our clients will learn, share, engage and network. The SMi Event Communities will build and expand your experience beyond the conference, workshop or masterclass that you attend. Not just another "social network”, SMi’s Event Communities have been specifically designed around the needs of our delegates, speakers and sponsors, allowing all of our clients to foster longer-term relationships with other attendees for year round engagement beyond the event. To take part all you need to do is register for this event.

Presentations are made from national militaries and commercial firms from every continent. One is able to gain a sense of the challenges which are common; the various solutions being innovated and adopted; and the convergences in many cases which exist between these diverse solutions. It also offers an intimacy that is not available in most conferences—there is always the opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues begin to establish new friendships with fellow SATCOM professionals.” What have past attendees said about Global MilSatCom? Pat Rayermann, Senior Director, Strategy & Development, Orbital Sciences Corporation, Colonel, US Army (Rtd) “Great job! Keep it up!” MoD Nigeria “One of the most worthwhile events in Europe” NATO JAPCC “Global MilSatCom is the conference and exhibition which gave me the most valuable knowledge” Luxembourg Army “All presentations were of a high standard satnews and excellent variety” E2V publishers “Good conference with lots of professional and informed speakers” South African National Defence Force The Millennium Conference Centre is located in Kensington, and is easily accessible to all major airports as well as London's business, shopping and entertainment districts.
