New expert speakers announced for the 5th Annual Airborne ISR Conference

SMi Reports: Three senior military officials from France and the UK have confirmed to join the speaker line-up at the Airborne ISR conference in London this October

The Airborne ISR conference, taking place in London on the 23rd-24th October 2019, will bring together international military speakers and industry-leading organizations to explore how Airborne ISR capabilities can be transformed to effectively ensure information and decision dominance in the battlefield.


Since the release of the brochure, SMi Group are delighted to welcome new expert speakers to this year's line-up:

Lieutenant Colonel Romain Desjars-de-keranroue, Commander Drone Squadron 1/33 Belfort, French Air Force will be presenting on ‘French Air Force's approach to unmanned ISR, and the Reaper drone'.

Wing Commander Mark Jackson, Commanding Officer XIII Squadron, Royal Air Force, will be presenting on ‘UK's adoption of the Protector Drone, whilst continuing to deliver operational capabilities'.

Officer (TBC), Commanding 51 Squadron, Royal Air Force, will be presenting on ‘UK's Rivet Joint, providing exceptional signal intelligence capability to the RAF'.

The programme with the full speaker line-up and presentation details is available on the event website at http://www.airborne-isr.net/roboticstom4

The 2019 event will explore in detail the challenges and recent developments in increasing Airborne ISR capabilities, as new 5th generation platforms and infrastructures are adopted to operate in high-threat environments.

The Airborne ISR community recognises the importance of data dissemination technology as key to exploiting the ever-increasing volume of reconnaissance and surveillance information collected. This enables the military to adapt to evolving threats and utilise valuable information that could mean the difference between mission success and failure.

Delegates will have the opportunity to hear key insights on platform updates from host nation and international speakers, as well as data dissemination developments from 15+ senior experts, and the benefit of having over 5 hours of dedicated networking at the event.

For those interested in attending, there is a £200 early bird discount expiring on 30th August 2019. Register online at http://www.airborne-isr.net/roboticstom4

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
