2nd IAMD-COE Conference

During Our Second Annual Conference, we intend to draw a picture about the current Geostrategic Military Situation for Euro-Atlantic Partners. This will lead us to discuss about the new era of Threats for the Euro Atlantic area, focusing mainly on Hypersonic Weapons and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) developments, about the way NATO will meet today’s and tomorrow’s IAMD challenges and how improvements of offensive capabilities
will be a visible and valuable tool for the NATO Deterrence and Defense Posture.

Conference sessions

a.  The Current Geostrategic Military Situation for Euro-Atlantic Partners

b.  A new era of Threats for the Euro Atlantic area

c.  NATO towards the future: How to meet IAMD todays and tomorrow’s challenges.

d.  How training and Modelling & Simulation could support Deterrence and Defence from an IAMD perspective?

We are looking forward to an interesting and productive event, and to welcoming you to the picturesque and historical city of Chania.
