Military Navigation
29 October - 30 October 2003
Military Navigation
INS, GPS, and INS/GPS navigation systems are a critical element of most tactical applications. The navigation system provides essential position, velocity, and attitude data to the application for midcourse guidance, time position engagements, sensor optimisation, target acquisition, target tracking, terminal guidance, and performance evaluation. Evidently, the continued advancement of the inertial and GPS components and signal processing has permitted the development of small-size, low-cost, high-performance navigation systems for a large variety of applications.

Therefore, this conference will develop the idea of navigation with the emphasis on military enhancement. Global satellite navigation is an exciting technology, providing enhanced productivity and accuracy as well as a new level of safety to a wide range of navigation activities. There has been continuous development in Europe in order to provide a higher standard of reliability and integrity in Global Navigation Systems without the use of additional augmentation systems. This conference will disclose these new advancements in both policy and technology, describing how to achieve maximum performance in Europe. The US GPS will also be discussed, analysing it's operational significance to the US military forces in manoeuvres such as Operation Desert Storm and in its weapon systems.

The main objective of this conference is to be a forum where the main issues and developments evolving from military navigation on the international scale will be discussed. The conference will look at the four main segments of navigation, that of space, control, user and smart weapon development and these issues will be addressed through looking at the processes involved and their application within modern warfighting capabilities. It will address the major country visions as to the direction of key developments, how they differ from service to service and how technology is enhancing these policy directions.

This conference is currently in production. A full overview and programme will be available on-line shortly, in the mean-time, if you require further information, please call us on +44 (0) 870 9090 711. Alternatively, you can fill in our Feedback Form and we will be happy to call you.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
