Following the huge success of last year's event, we are delighted to
offer you the opportunity to attend Global MilSatCom 2005 - the largest
independent military satellite communications conference in Europe.

Satellite communications will play a large part in future force
transformation as every force seeks effective joint C4ISTAR and Network
Centric/Enabled capability. With the increasing role of commercial
satellites in enabling this capability and the introduction of innovative
financial partnerships to acquire the necessary
platforms/infrastructures, effective SatCom capability has now become
viable for the majority of defence forces.

Now in its 7th year Global MilSatCom will evaluate specific doctrines,
identify new requirements, and present the latest developments from
leading international case studies on procurement strategies and the
operational deployment of specific programmes. Other topics to be covered
include future MilSatCom applications, government-industry co-operation,
interoperability, 'on the move' capability, COTS, next generation
technologies & platforms and the latest commercial opportunities within
the MilSatCom marketplace.

can deliver on these requirements whilst providing outstanding quality of
service and reliability.

This interactive Workshop will examine in detail, precisely how the
communications needs of the modern, highly mobile and multi-functional
military unit can be, and are being met by state-of-the-art satellite
technologies that provide connectivity to the internet.

About your briefing leader:

Martin Jarrold joined the GVF and was appointed to the position of Chief
of International Programme Development in June 2001. His particular
responsibilities include outreach to the member organisations of the GVF
and for the further development of the profile of the Forum within the
satellite communications industry, and across the global
telecommunications policy and regulatory community.
