The Importance of Space for the Benefit of Nations

Space programs are essential for the benefit of nations. Not only do they provide scientists insights about other planets such as the recent Hope Mission to Mars but also government and private-sector entities rely on satellites for services such as communication, navigation, remote sensing, imaging, and weather and meteorological support. These services are integral to national security which in turn is essential for economic growth, scientific advancement, and life in general.
Arab nations have been increasingly investing in the space sector. They have become serious contributors to space science for the betterment of human life. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the UAE have astronauts, space missions and huge investments in the sector. Other Arab nations are also following suit.

Moderated Panel Session: Border Security (Technology and Solution Partners)

Global conflict is part of the fabric of everyday life today and defence agencies around the world, including Europe and the Middle East hold the primary mission of securing their borders and the sovereignty of their nation. Border security requires deployment of resources and technologies by land, air and sea. Most nations have huge borders with very little terrestrial infrastructure to support the critical communication and ISR requirements for effective border management.

Reliance on high-performance, flexible, secure, and affordable communications can make a significant difference in terms of mission success. Integration of satellite comms with advanced, reliable and flexible technology applications and softwares, ensure that critical data is shared in a timely manner allowing for well informed decisions and actions.

Join this panel as we talk about these applications, their operability over satellite networks, information security and all that is required for a reliable, robust and effective end-to-end solution for Border Security.
