Lockheed Martin stands as one of the world’s premier companies in the aerospace, defense,
security, and technologies industry; it is the world’s largest defense contractor based on
revenue for fiscal year 2014. In 2013, 78% of Lockheed Martin’s revenues came from
military sales; it topped the list of US federal government contractors and received nearly
10% of the funds paid out by the Pentagon. In 2009 US government contracts accounted
for $38.4 billion (85%), foreign government contracts $5.8 billion (13%), and commercial
and other contracts for $900 million (2%). www.lockheedmartin.com/us.html

DARPA explicitly reaches for transformational change instead of incremental advances.
But it does not perform its engineering alchemy in isolation. It works within an
innovation ecosystem that includes academic, corporate and governmental partners, with
a constant focus on the Nation’s military Services, which work with DARPA to create new
strategic opportunities and novel tactical options. For decades, this vibrant, interlocking
ecosystem of diverse collaborators has proven to be a nurturing environment for the
intense creativity that DARPA is designed to cultivate. www.darpa.mil

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a United States and
Canada bi-national organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning
and aerospace control for North America. Aerospace warning includes the detection,
validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or
space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands.

Dear Military Radar Stakeholder:
There is no question we live in increasingly challenging times. This
increasing hostility and changing international relationships means
that it’s more important now than ever that we are substantially
increasing our detection capabilities of foreign assets great and small.
UAV’s are becoming an asset that nearly every nation possesses and
we must improve not only their capabilities but our ability to detect
them. In the Radar arena every new technology is critical and every
second counts.
Despite the remaining specter of sequestration, our top minds and
agencies in military radar have been tasked with improving small
target detection, SWAP-C, resiliency to electronic warfare, interference
management, modular upgrades, and autonomous radar assets.
In order to accomplish this, the military has put out a number of
significant RFPs and requirements. It will take a seamless collaboration
of the top agencies, OEMs, military branches, and contractors to
achieve these goals.
In light of this state of affairs, this year’s Military Radar Summit
brings together key stakeholders that work in this space to collaborate
and strategize for 2016. This year’s program will provide you with
everything you need to make a plan to improve your radar resiliency,
catch up to foreign developments, implement the newest scientific
capabilities, overcome functional challenges, and upgrade your
existing resources.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be a key player in solving your division’s
greatest challenges at Military Radar Summit 2016!
