Current Needs in Next Gen Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and the Opportunities for San Diego Based Companies
There is an urgent demand for more ISR assets and platforms, as well as a continued stride for maintaining advantages over U.S. adversaries. This continual push for diversification and leverage of ISR capabilities permeates government planning across a broad range of critical missions – but like all missions, is ultimately affected by budget priorities.
Next Gen ISR is a plethora of Multi-INT and interoperable technologies shaping Persistent Global Surveillance, Global Strike, Counter-intelligence/ Counter-terrorism, Maritime Domain Awareness, Space Defense, Anti-Access and the Contested Global airspace.
Our panel represents the many facets of ISR including: Unmanned Systems; Flight Testing and Range Operations; Sensor Packages and Data Fusion, and Integration. The panel will address:
- The impact of budgets on development and orders in military electronics and complex subsystems;
- Where we are headed with Unmanned Systems for ISR missions;
- How to deal with the sheer volume of sensor data in the spectrum, which is now in the petabytes and increasing at staggering rates;
- How Next Gen ISR will address multi-sensor data fusion technologies across organizations and platforms;
- Opportunities to improve commonalities and interoperability, including integrating and standardizing open architectures;
- Utilization of the cloud for enhanced ISR analysis and production;
- How local companies can benefit from the challenge of distilling information from the enormous amount of data available. The key contract vehicles and the product/service opportunities to target:
- Automation of the intelligence cycle and implementation of predictive intelligence
- Improvement of multi-INT fusion, analysis and correlation
- Reduction of the "Data to Decision" cycle
Panelists:
- Mr. Brian Raduenz, CEO, Merlin Global Services
- Mr. John Fanelle, Director, Radar Systems General Atomics - ASI
- Mr. Bradley Pils, Booz Allen Hamilton
- (Moderator) Commander W. David Place (USN/Ret), Naval Postgraduate School Research Associate & Third Fleet Staff UAS Advisor, AUVSI Board Member
