ONR Global and MARSEC COE to present updates on maritime ISR Technology at Maritime Reconnaissance & Surveillance Technology 2021 Conference
Reconnaissance & Surveillance Technology 2021 Conference SMi Reports: Senior experts from these two organisations are set to present next month at the virtual Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance technology conference.
In recent news, the US Navy and Royal Navy partner in a newly launched London Tech Bridge. Both nations as full partners will serve as a command post for innovation for the two Navies as they work toward interchangeability in everything from technology development to deployment and operation. In a live interview, Cmdr. Albert Arnold, of Office of Naval Research Global (ONR Global), who will serve as the U.S. director, noted "Using ONR Global's deep networks as the perfect foundation, we're very excited to expand the breadth and reach with our Royal Navy partners to deliver capability for defense and beyond." *
With this in mind, SMi Group's 6th annual Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance Technology conference, taking place virtually on the 3rd-4th February 2021, will feature exclusive briefings from ONR Global, as well as the Multinational Maritime Security Centre of Excellence on how to achieve comprehensive maritime domain awareness (MDA) through new innovative solutions.
Registration is FREE for military and government personnel, and just £499 for commercial organisations. Register at http://www.maritime-recon.com/pr5
The two speakers will delve into the key theme for the conference of research and development into maritime ISR technology:
Dr Rhett Jefferies, Technical Director, Office of Naval Research Global will be presenting on 'Exploiting Developing Technologies for Superior Maritime Domain Awareness', covering:
• Update on Office of Naval Research Global Initiatives to accelerate transition of New Technologies for Superior Maritime Situational Awareness
• Innovative technology for greater and more efficient data harvesting
• Collaborating with international partners to improve joint capabilities
Mr Guy Thomas, President, C-SIGMA, Multinational Maritime Security Centre of Excellence (MARSEC COE) will be presenting on 'Space-Based Maritime Awareness ', covering:
• Dramatically enhancing space-based maritime awareness through innovative technologies
• The role of AI and machine learning tools in rapidly analysing data
• from Earth observation satellites and their sensors
• Drivers and goals of future innovations in the field of space-based maritime awareness

Featured Product
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.
