The defence sector will be represented by products such as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Other sectors including energy, rail, automotive, healthcare and agriculture will also be represented, highlighting how the use of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems technology is already being widely applied throughout global industries.
GIS 2013 will be a two-day conference that will feature speakers including leading figures from industry, high-level academics and government officials, as well as offering opportunities for seminars and focus groups to discuss industry topics in greater detail. An exhibition will run alongside the conference where products and technology will be displayed and live demonstrations will take place. A gala dinner will provide further networking opportunities on the first evening of the event and residential delegate packages will be available for attendees.
Kevin Jones, Director – Information Exploitation and Air, ADS, spoke about the launch of GIS. He said: “Global Intelligent Systems has been designed to transcend sectors and bring together the whole of the international community advancing Autonomous and Intelligent Systems technology and to provide a forum from which opportunities for growth and development can be identified and exploited. There are many ways to be involved by attending the conferences and/or exhibiting. Sponsors are also offered the chance to have a share of voice in shaping this new event for 2013 and beyond.”
Amanda Stainer, Exhibitions & Events Director for FIL added: “FIL is very excited to be increasing its global event portfolio with the launch of Global Intelligent Systems at Farnborough next year. GIS will break new ground with its scope encompassing technology spanning numerous sectors and we look forward to welcoming a host of international delegates and participants in July 2013. GIS will be an annual event and will take place as part of the Farnborough International Airshow in 2014.”
Gordon Lane, Managing Director Defence ADS, said: “Intelligent Systems will impact the way we live our lives in the future. Indeed, it is already with us today to varying degrees in the everyday technology that we routinely use at work and play and notably in our mobile phones. Increasingly much more capable systems will migrate into the aerospace and defence industries making for highly effective and capable platforms and weapons systems of the future.
"British aerospace and defence industries must strive to keep ahead of the competition if we are to retain our position as the premier European exporter on the global market. We can do this only by committing fully to the development and exploitation of emerging technologies. The launch of Global Intelligent Systems 2013 is the first steps on our voyage to keeping ahead of the global competition in this evolving field."
