SMi Reports: Colonel Andrew Clark of the US Air Force to give a keynote address on the U-2 at the Airborne ISR Conference, this October in London.
- (1888PressRelease) August 13, 2019 - Conference organisers, SMi Group, are delighted to have Colonel Andrew Clark, Commander 9th Reconnaissance Wing, United States Air Force deliver a keynote presentation at this year’s Airborne ISR conference, taking place on 23rd and 24th October in London.
One of the United States’ most secret aerial reconnaissance platforms for more than half a century, the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, nicknamed the U-2 Dragon Lady still flies some of the U.S. military’s most sensitive spy missions worldwide. The design of the aircraft has remained essentially unchanged over decades of operational deployment, but the reconnaissance systems are constantly upgraded with state-of-the-art and classified systems.
The U-2 continues to meet the ISR needs of combatant commanders every day while helping to meet the Air Force’s vision for the Advanced Battle Management System.
With this is mind, Colonel Andrew Clark will present a keynote address on ‘The U-2 Today and Tomorrow: The Future of High-Altitude Reconnaissance’. His presentation will focus on:
• The resurgent roles of the U2 in USAF ISR operations
• Discussing the unique modular payload approach for enhancing the U2’s ISR capabilities
• The advantages of high-altitude reconnaissance
• Designing operations for optimal data collection
