DESCRIPTION
IDGA is excited to announce registration is now open for the 7th Annual Military Radar Summit – the premier military radar community event of the year! We had an excellent turnout last year and are building on this success through innovative sessions and speakers for 2014. This year’s event is on the “business of radars” that seeks to bridge gaps between DOD, US Government, OEM’s, subcontractors, academia, and businesses of all sizes. It provides a forum for radar stakeholders to look to the future of military radar while examining projects aimed at prolonging the lives of current US military radars.

Developing the Next-Generation Military Radar while Maintaining and Advancing Current Systems
Dear Colleague,
IDGA’s Military Radar Summit is a unique and intimate opportunity to focus on the pertinent aspects of the current and future state of military radar. This event will bring together the most infl uential and knowledgeable military radar experts, in order to discuss the future measures and strategies for advancing radar capabilities and improving partnerships.
The complexity and the scale of military radar encompasses many different strategies, technologies and methods of implementation. Being able to protect high value equipment and personnel, while simultaneously improving C4ISR capabilities.
In its 7th year, the event is the only one of its kind in North America that focusses solely on advancing military radar capabilities. This event will bring together the most infl uential and knowledgeable radar experts in order to discuss the future measures and strategies for Developing the Next-Generation Military Radar while Maintaining and Advancing Current Systems.
Attend this event to learn about a new era of radar research and development in the new environment of sequestration and budget cuts. It will investigate the current state of technology implemented within the radar industry and the road ahead. I hope that you sign up to be a part of this exclusive and collaborative event dedicated to advancing partnerships and technology for the future of military radar.
Kind regards,
Tyler BaylisProgram DirectorIDGA
