This year, SMi are proud to announce the return of this year’s conference chair, Lieutenant General (Ret’d) Giorgio Battisti, Former Commander Italian Army Training and Doctrine Command, Italian Army. See a snapshot of his invitation to the conference below.
“The conference will bring together key military planners and decision makers, technical experts and leading providers to share their knowledge and the latest developments within the NCW environment aimed at building an understanding of how technologies and equipment are being developed. Participants will be provided with a unique and rare opportunity to receive detailed and in-depth information to create a common understanding of this field.
I am sure that this conference will represent an important chance to share knowledge about NCW opportunities and to convince sceptical countries to invest in this technology that still represents a key to the future integrated role of allied countries.
As the Italian Army Chief of Staff, General Salvatore Farina, stated: “It doesn’t matter whether warfare is more kinetic, cyber or aimed at winning the hearts and minds of an adversary: ICT embraces all of them!”
The Italian Armed Forces continue to lead the way in network-enabled systems with their successful Forza NEC project, which aims to optimise the exchange of operational, tactical and logistical information between every unit of the Italian Armed Forces deployed in the field.
Network Centric Warfare 2020 is set to be led by senior host nation military and government officials giving their valuable perspectives on the latest developments in network centric warfare, future capabilities, and joint interoperability.
Senior Italian officials speaking at the conference include:
- General Salvatore Farina, Chief of Army Staff, Italian Army Staff
- Lieutenant General Francesco Figliuolo, Commander Italian Army Logistics Command, Italian Army
- Major General Claudio Minghetti, Commandant Simulation Centre, Italian Army
- Brigadier General Gianluca Carai, Commander Italian Army General Planning Division, Italian Army
