The SMi Group has announced that the 14th Annual Mobile Deployable Communications conference will return to Lisbon, Portugal on the 27 and 28 January 2021, with strong support from the Portuguese Army. As adversaries evolve, deployable communications need to develop stronger resilience in order to withstand the challenges associated with electronic warfare. Militaries must especially focus on the protection of communications in degraded environments as ever more complex electronic warfare technologies are deployed.
This annual military conference will bring together leading program managers, strategic decision-makers, industry experts and thought leaders from Europe and further afield to explore the latest developments in communications technology and the challenges associated with electronic warfare.
