10th edition
13/05/2019INTELLIGENCE WORKSHOP Celebrating its 10th anniversary
Stockholmsmässan · Sweden · www.eweurope.com
2 3
In 2011, when PLATH came up with the
idea of adding an additional day to
the EW Europe conference specifically
addressing COMINT related topics, we
were convinced there was a need for
a new platform within the intelligence
community. A platform that brings to-
gether users as well as providers of
COMINT technology and provides the
opportunity for open discussions. As
PLATH could not have initiated this
event without strong partners, we were
very lucky to persuade the AOC and the
EW Europe organiser to support us to
rapidly bring the idea to life. Right from
the start the event attracted conside-
rable attention from intelligence orga-
nisations not only in Europe but from
around the world. And since then the
attention has risen steadily.
Today I am happy and proud to welco-
me you to the 10th edition of the Intelli-
gence Workshop. The event has esta-
blished itself as a must-attend event
for the intelligence community. Over
the years, the market trends and tech-
nological trends may have changed
but the motivation of the Intelligence
Workshop remains the same: it´s all
about the community, the exchange,
the networking, the people. I am looking
forward to this year’s and future dis-
cussions: Let´s keep up the dialogue!
I sincerely wish that you enjoy the 10th Intelligence Workshop – as I will!

The Intelligence Workshop was laun-
ched in 2011 to provide users, deci-
sion-makers, buyers and the industry
that are active in the field of communi-
cation intelligence with a platform for
exchanging views.
Since the starting point of the event
series, the attendee numbers have
risen. This shows that there is a huge
demand within the intelligence com-
munity for an open dialogue. The Intel-
ligence Workshop has gained respect
as it addresses current requirements
and the latest trends on the one hand
and, on the other hand, it invites the
industry to introduce innovative
approaches to how these challen-
ges can be dealt with. And in fact,
the selection of sessions made by
PLATH takes note of the issues affec-
ting the intelligence community since
2011 – including the need for innovati-
ve sensor-independent technology or
the currently challenging scenarios in
border protection.
Throughout its history the event has
visited a wealth of cities. Each year,
a host location is carefully selected
to explore emerging requirements in
communication intelligence and elec-
tronic warfare and maximise military
and government engagement.

Around ten years ago, the requirements
focused on capturing as many electro-
magnetic signals as possible. It was
the trend at the time to use sensors that were as sensitive as possible, so
nothing would fail within the chosen
spectrum range, or to integrate several
sensors to ensure the whole spectrum
was covered.
Yet, with the increased use of diffe-
rent communication media, the focus
shifted from sensors to software. The
requirement emerged for sensor-in-
dependent systems, that were able to
process results from various sensors
(COMINT, ELINT and OSINT) independ-
ently of any particular platform, and to
conflate these into an overall situation
picture. There was also a greater requi-
rement for speed, where anyone who
was quickly able to make valid informa-
tion available for decision making was
a step closer to the objective of infor-mation superiority.
The digitalisation trend was further ac-
celerated through the increased use of
social media. The cyber issue became
ever more significant. Shocking events
such as terror attacks have shown how
fundamental it is for our security to
COMINT in a changing world
identify endangerers hiding behind va-
rious aliases in cyberspace, as quickly
and reliably as possible.
This challenge of increasing quantities
of data pursues us to this day. Sys-
tems are required that can process
enormous quantities of data, fuse in-
formation from different data sources
and conflate them into a single intelli-
gence report. The focus is on the still
important signal-of-interest. But also
the event, the user is searching for, is
more and more important: who does
what, when, where and why? The is-
sue of automation plays an important
role here, as resources are limited more
than ever and must be deployed in a
purposeful way. That is why we already
need to occupy ourselves today with
how we can support users with the la-
test technologies such as AI, so we can
also fulfil ever more challenging tasks
in the future. For greater security..
The themes in the history of the Intelligence Workshop clearly mark out the digital transformation that has not only captured our society, but also our intelligence community.

Product family for full HF coverage With the 5100 product line, PLATH in-
troduced a revolutionary sensor tech-
nology. It enables your COMINT sys-
tems to simultaneously process the
entire HF range, provide a precise tar-
geting and seamless interception of
even the weakest signals.
Sensor independent data fusionICAS allows you to automatically fuse
data from various sensors. Contents
are effectively connected with the di-
rection or the location of the emission
and even with signal parameter re-
sults. In this way you are able to com-
plete your situation picture and save
time-consuming routine work for users
at the same time.
The best of technologies
Closing the intelligence cyclePLATH introduced the first “from sen-
sors to knowledge to sensors” solution.
This cycle enables you to manually or
automatically hand over results from
the reconnaissance system to an eva-
luation system and, more recently, also
in the other direction, allowing you to
constantly optimise your frequency
management and your tasking.
Processing up to all the signals on airICAS enables you to capture, analyse
and distribute large data volumes – up
to all the signals from different sources
can be processed in parallel with ICAS.
With this capability you find the one
relevant signal or the event you are fo-
cusing on, thus ensuring information
superiority.

Thanks
PLATH would like to thank you for being our partners throughout the history of the
Intelligence Workshop. AOC – the initiator of the EW Europe conference, having
the Intelligence Workshop as an opener, Shephard – the former event organiser
PLATH partnered with in 2011, to provide the first international event specializing in
COMINT, Clarion – the current event organiser working closely together with
PLATH to offer our guests an enjoyable event, Philip Sturley – the chairman of the
Intelligence Workshop from the very beginning and, last but not least, over 100
Intelligence Workshop speakers – contributing significantly to the success of the
event with their high-quality presentations.
Thanks a lot to each one of you for being so cooperative and engaged and ma-
king the Intelligence Workshop such a successful event! PLATH looks forward to
continuing our partnership in the future!
