Network Centric Warfare
Fully explore the command and control implications of Network Centric Warfare…

· Revolutionise communications

· Increase your combat power

· Improve battlefield operations

The event will cover all this and much, much more. Register now to guarantee your place and to benefit from our speakers’ expertise.

By attending SAE Media Group’s 3rd Annual Network Centric Warfare conference, all your research and networking requirements can be completed in just two days! At SAE Media Group we appreciate that arranging to meet the people that matter takes up time and energy. But by attending this event, all your networking requirements for this market will be housed under one roof. And with lunches promoting open discussion, this will give you the vital time to discuss market developments and potential while exchanging industry specific knowledge.

Following the immense success of our previous Network Centric Warfare conferences, this year’s event will continue to expand on past strengths. This event will highlight the command and control implications and benefits of NCW.

In particular, the speakers will explore how centralised networks can be translated into combat power to provide real-time information superiority and operational benefits. The conference will enable you scrutinise the latest developments in, and benefits of, NCW in terms of revolutionising communications between sensors, shooters and decision makers. So, register now to benefit from: shared awareness, increased speed of command, greater lethality, increased survivability and high tempo operations.

The two-day conference will consist of presentations by key military professionals covering areas including:

· Enabling communication technologies

· Implementation and technical challenges

· Network centric networking

· Information superiority

· Architecture design, benefits and challenges

· Applications and simulation systems

    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.
