About this event
As part of our monthly iDeaS by COGES EVENTS, we are pleased to present the next e-conference of 2023 on:
Unveiling Hypersonic Challenges - Missiles and Countermeasures in Modern Military
The next iDeaS e-conference on hypersonic challenges aims to provide insights into the advancements and challenges in hypersonic missiles technology, with a specific focus on the U.S. and French programs. The event will feature four distinguished panelists who will share their expertise and discuss various aspects of hypersonic research and development, including MBDA's R&D efforts on countermeasures.
Hypersonic technology has gained significant attention due to its potential to revolutionize military capabilities and civilian applications. The conference will serve as a platform to explore the latest developments, opportunities, and challenges associated with hypersonic technology.
Furthermore, the conference will shed light on MBDA's research and development initiatives in the hypersonic domain. As a leading European defense company, MBDA has been actively involved in advancing hypersonic technologies and developing countermeasures to address potential threats.
The e-conference will offer a unique opportunity for participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the hypersonic domain. It will facilitate knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and networking among industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers.
