ISCe 2009, scheduled for June 2-4 in San Diego, California, will focus on SATCOM solutions for homeland security, disaster recovery, and support for warfighters in the pursuit of victory. ISCe 2009 will provide attendees with unprecedented access to key military and civil agency decision makers. With a new Administration in Washington, D.C., spending priorities across the board are being analyzed and reviewed. The results of this scrutiny could have significant ramifications on the DoD’s requirements for satellite communications. ISCe 2009 will offer two information-packed programs specifically geared to this changing procurement landscape, those being military and intelligence applications and homeland security, continuity of government and disaster recovery. Through keynote speakers, panel discussions and workshops, attendees at ISCe 2009 will have an opportunity to explore how rising demand for services, short-term stimulus spending and shrinking long-term budgets will reshape the military SATCOM landscape in 2009 and beyond.
Keynote speakers include Lt. Gen Russel Honore, US Army (Ret), the Former Commander Joint Task Force Katrina, and the Honorable Matthew Bettenhausen, Acting Cabinet Secretary, California Emergency Management Agency. ISCe 2009 will also feature two parallel tracks for Military and Civil applications. The Navy SATCOM Users Workshop, organized by SPAWAR and the Satellite Industry Association, will once again close out the three days of ISCe with various presentations.
