At the end of April, the 24th annual PVO conference was held at the University of Defence. The CSG Aerospace Division once again supported this event as a partner. The conference featured three speakers from companies in our division.
More than one hundred experts from the military and private sector attended the conference, which featured more than twenty public lectures and contributions. Three of these talks were presented by our representatives. What exactly did they present?
Josef Slavik spoke on behalf of Retia on the topic of "Creating and displaying a potential ballistic image in C2 systems". Josef Slavik spoke about the importance of creating a ballistic image over defended territory for early response to the threat of ballistic missiles and other means of air attack. He also addressed the issue of early warning of the civilian population and military units, stressing the importance of continuous and high-quality training of personnel operating missile defence systems.

Tomáš Muller, Technical Director, spoke on behalf of Eldis Pardubice. His presentation focused on "Customer requirements and their impact on the delivery of mobile airport systems".

UpVision was represented by Štěpán Alexa, who gave a public talk on "Strengthening air defence through adaptive information processing at the tactical level".
The modern battlefield is undergoing a digital transformation. There is a growing number of deployed active and passive sensors operating in almost all spectral bands. At the same time, robotic autonomous systems are growing in importance. Air defence operational scenarios such as early warning, effectiveness enhancement, electronic warfare require advanced techniques for acquisition, distribution and processing of large amounts of data at the tactical level. Next-generation 5G networks represent a key technology for tactical applications using robotic autonomous systems on a large scale. UpVision and CETIN, in collaboration with other partners, have therefore introduced a unique Edge computing infrastructure service concept based on a tactical 5G network, meeting the most demanding requirements for performance, availability, resilience and throughput. Key features of this solution include the ability to intelligently distribute processing between endpoint devices, access network nodes and the backend. This capability brings new opportunities for air defence applications in the use of artificial intelligence, fusion of sensor and control data, and decentralised control of robotic autonomous assets.
