Why should I attend?

Technology is constantly evolving, especially when it comes to communications equipment. With emergent changes in the battlefield, the deployment of the most advanced wireless communications technologies become an essential tool for military missions, ultimately aiding in war-fighter survival.

The need for wireless communications and information superiority has led the DoD to pursue new antenna technologies. However, the proliferation of antenna systems has caused a wide variety of challenges for the military.

IDGA’s MilitaryAntennas Conference will include:

• New progress in the design of military antennas to meet on-the-move demands
• Solutions to integrate apertures that would handle most microwave RF functions
• Ways to reduce and overcome threats from interference and jamming
• Solutions to reduce antenna proliferation
• Assessments of military bandwidth demands
• The most cost effective production, modification and maintenance procedures for military antenna systems

Who will I meet and who is speaking?

The audience will be comprised of Program and Project Managers, Branch Heads, Project Leads, Commanders, Chief Technical Officers, Chief Scientists and Engineers from functions that include, but are not limited to:

• Antenna Design
• RF Engineering
• Wireless Distribution
• Systems Integration
• Research & Development
• Manufacturing
• Electrical Engineering System Design Engineering, Signal Processing Algorithms for Detection, Discrimination, Track Processing and Identification
