The three-day Military and Government Summit — a program produced in partnership with Harris Corporation, Raytheon, ITT, and other leading defense organizations — is chaired by John Marino, Vice President, Science and Technology, NAB, and will be held April 21 to 23, 2009 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada. Attendees will have access to the NAB Show floor — the world’s largest video marketplace — which opens on Monday, April 20th. The Summit will identify ways in which government and military officials can use commercial video technologies for defense, military, and emergency response applications. Featuring keynote addresses by military speakers who are pioneers in the use of video for government applications, the Summit includes an opening keynote by Kevin P. Meiners of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSD). Additional invited government speakers include Vice Admiral Robert B. Murrett, U.S. Navy, Director, NGA; and Brigadier General James O. Poss, Director of Intelligence, Headquarters Air Combat Command, Langley Air Force Base.
Case studies about current military programs and applications that are driving future video and imagery applications include the Army Range Commander’s Council, and new technologies for the global dissemination of video. Harris Corporation, together with government panelists, will review the most recent discoveries from Empire Challenge, an annual event lead by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency to test and evaluate situational awareness tools for joint military missions. More traditional uses of video within government newsroom scenarios will be covered by the American Forces Network and the NATO Channel TV.
