SMi Group's 17th annual Global MilSatCom conference and exhibition will take place on the 3rd-5th November 2015 in London and will bring together over 400 people from both the military and industry.

The conference will allow the industry and military users to discuss future SatCom issues and upon greater collaboration, stronger relationships can be developed, thus ensuring greater efficiency and benefits for both parties in the coming years. 

The year's Global MilSatCom will be addressing current and future MilSatCom issues. Industry will identify the new and emerging technologies which can further enhance end user capabilities, such technologies discussed will enhance SatCom on the Move operations, address high throughput satellite capability in the military as well as the continual challenges of cost-efficiency and operational efficiency.

The military will provide overviews of national programs, capabilities and requirements and the challenges concerning lower budgets but increasing requirements – such overviews will include the use hosted payloads and how interoperability, protected SatCom and allied collaboration are enhancing capabilities whilst reducing costs.
