Reviews of the Maritime Reconnaissance & Surveillance conference

In the run-up to Maritime Reconnaissance & Surveillance 2012, we asked the speaker faculty what is driving them to attend this year’s event:

"…learning from other Nations operational experiences and the development of partnerships are tools that, at a time of extremely stringent financial constrains, Italy needs to leverage from to improve joint domain awareness. " Commander Lorenzano Di Renzo, Development Office, Naval Aviation Department, Italian Navy

"At Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance, I am looking forward to finding out what lessons other nations have taken from recent operations and how they compare to our own experiences" Commander Stephan Von Hanneken, Commander, 1st Squadron NAW3, German Navy

"I am looking forward to finding out what lessons other nations have taken from recent operations and how they compare to our own experiences from operations at the Horn of Africa, as well as showing other nations our results gathered despite a tight budget." Lt Cdr. Jens-Christian H. Thomsen, 723 Naval Air Squadron, Royal Danish Air Force
