“GULF C4ISR 2009 provides us with an excellent opportunity to share valuable insights and effective strategies on information operations, reflecting our meticulous approach to managing and handling critical data.

Secure information and data handling will continue to be vital components of any defence and security initiative, given the unpredictability of the regional and global threat environments. The conference provides an ideal platform to discuss how we can leverage technology to address some of these emerging issues. By inviting Matthew to speak on Information Operations, Injazat Defence Services will be able to demonstrate the comprehensive capabilities that it can bring into the region to support the commander and his staff.” said Philip Keating, Business Relations Manager, Injazat Defence Services.

In addition, GULF C4ISR 2009 will feature advanced briefings from the US, Germany and Sweden, thus providing vital insights on the best NEC and Network-Centric Warfare strategies.
