Gold Sponsors Silver Sponsors About RUSI

Founded in 1831 by the Duke of Wellington and based in the centre of Whitehall, London, RUSI is the oldest institute of its kind in the world. Its purpose is to study, promote debate, report and provide options on all issues relating to national and international defence and security. RUSI enjoys an enviable international reputation as an intellectually pre-eminent, independent authority on UK and international defence and security issues. RUSI’s knowledge of the international and national defence and security The Royal United Services Institute for environments, and the objectivity it Defence and Security Studies (RUSI) is a brings to bear, are second to none. Its distinguished heritage, reputation, and World Class Centre of Excellence and the central Whitehall location augment its credibility as a leading authority, and Professional Forum in the United Kingdom give RUSI unrivalled access to senior for those concerned with National and figures in the Ministry of Defence and other Government Departments. International Defence and Security.

The Institute has four principal roles: • through its research programmes, to promote the study of selected national and international defence and security issues, thus making an independent and original contribution to thinking about defence and international security policy; • through its programme of lectures, conferences and seminars, to provide a forum for discussion of all aspects of national and international defence and security, set in a wide international context, bringing together participants from the armed forces, politicians, the civil and diplomatic services, embassies and high commissions in London, industry, commerce, media, police, academia and a wide range of other disciplines; • through its Journal and other publications, to assist in creating informed opinion and extending knowledge of national and international defence and security matters; • to encourage the maximum participation of individual, corporate and diplomatic members in these roles.

Ladies and Gentlemen

On behalf of RUSI, I have great pleasure in inviting you to join us for our Malvern C4ISTAR Conference.

This event is one of the highlights of RUSI’s conference programme, and will push the debate forward on key C4ISTAR issues. We expect more than 250 participants, This page is drawn from governments, the military and defence industries of many nations. I 165mm wide am delighted to welcome once again the support of the UK Ministry of Defence.

Information exploitation is critical to delivering military effect. Sensors (to gather information), an effective network (to consolidate, communicate and exploit that information) and strike assets (to deliver the decisive effect) are the central elements in the network for the delivery of accurate and timely information, benefitting both the decision maker and the warfighter.The conference will bring you up-to-date briefings from key stakeholders on the critical issues for C4ISTAR, from high level principles, to the requirements of and reality for the user, and to transformation in organizations, processes, structures and cultures. Participants should gain a clear understanding of the direction and co-ordination of national plans in information exploitation and C4ISTAR in networked warfare.

I hope you will join us. This brochure contains everything you need, including full registration details. Please feel free to pass this information to any other person whom you feel may like to attend. I look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues to the conference.

Rear Admiral Richard Cobbold CB FRAeS Conference Concept

UK Minister for Defence Procurement ‘An overarching priority for the MoD is to integrate its capabilities to allow for rapid and precise military effects – a concept underpinned by Network-Enabled Capability’ Lord Bach of Lutterworth (Minister for Defence Procurement, UK). Ministry of Defence Press Notice 170/03, 24 July 2003

UK Defence White Paper ‘In order to deliver a wide range of effects, [the UK needs] to be able to deploy and configure forces rapidly and have the capability for rapid decision making, accompanied by the precise delivery of force. These characteristics need to be underpinned by an improved ability to exploit information that can then be translated into synchronised responses to achieve decisive military effect’ ‘Delivering Security in a Changing World: Defence White Paper’

‘What are the critical elements in delivering military effect? The answer is threefold: sensors – to gather information; an effective network – to consolidate, communicate and exploit that information; and strike assets – to deliver the decisive action’ Oral Statement on the Defence White Paper, ‘Delivering Security in a Changing World: Defence White Paper’ Presented to Parliament by The Secretary of State for Defence By Command of Her Majesty, December 2003

Ministry of Defence, UK: mission statement for information exploitation capability – ‘to deliver UK equipment capability for the acquisition and delivery of accurate and timely information for the decision maker and warfighter. …. [Information superiority is] the ability to collect, process and disseminate an uninterrupted flow of information while exploiting or denying an adversary’s ability to do the same. [It requires the] right appreciation of information by decision makers, supporting effective dialogue and mutual comprehension, and enabling commanders at all levels to reach better decisions’. Air Vice Marshal Steve Dalton RAF (Capability Manager Information Superiority, UK Ministry of Defence)

Office of Force Transformation, United States Department of Defense ‘[In Iraq] we enjoyed new levels of integration … levels of jointness which we had never seen before. And that tells a particular story about transformation. … You have a choice. You can either create your own future or you can be the victim of a future that someone else creates for you. By seizing the transformation opportunities you are seizing the opportunity to create your own future’ Vice Admiral Arthur K.
