NAECON
(National Aerospace and Electronics Conference) is the oldest and premier
IEEE Conference presenting research in all aspects of theory, design, and applications
of aerospace systems and sensors. It is jointly sponsored
by Dayton Section IEEE and The Aerospace & Electronics Systems Society (AESS).
For 2009, NAECON is exploring new research and contributions for next generation
Optics & core intelligent aerospace sensor and medical integration in the following
areas; Innovative Aerospace Technology, Intelligent Sensory Exploitation and Wireless
& Information Interoperability. The NAECON Grand Challenge Problem is “Signals
of Opportunity”.
NAECON's theme is “Next Generation Optics & Futuristic RF Applications” with Keynote Speaker, Dr. Paul McManamon, Consultant (Former Chief Scientist of the Sensors Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory).
BREAKING NEW GROUND: NAECON, during the afternoon session on the first day (July 21) will feature a talk on Calamityville, which is a multimillion dollar disaster response training center that will be located in Fairborn, Ohio. City leaders and Wright State University professors are working to develop a multimillion dollar disaster response training center. This training center will be the proving ground for medical first responders. Over the next few years, NAECON will be addressing exploratory non-in vitro medical sensory issues for detecting biological signals using both RF and optical devices. After the Calamityville talk, we will have a presentation on the futuristic battlefield computer and communications technology known as the Battlefield Air Tactical, Man Aided kNowledge, or BATMAN. Researchers simulated a close air support mission using Machine to Machine and BATMAN technology that allows controllers in the field to deliver timely and sensory support of ground troops. Finally, we will have Ron Allen, President and Chief Operating Officer of AMDETECH, an international provider of protective detection services to governments and businesses. They specialize in explosives, narcotics, chemical and contraband detection. These presentations highlight the sensory coupling between electronics and medical domains, where amazing research and development can do what we put our minds too. The medical applications is a new innovation area for NAECON, but not new to the Dayton area. We believe this medical area will grow larger in scope for NAECON over the next few years.
NAECON 2009 is exploring the following areas: Optics, Radar/LIDAR, Innovative Aerospace Materials, Plasmonic Devices, Intelligent Sensory Exploitation, RF Reconfigurable Nanotechnology, Wireless & Information Interoperability, Waveform Diversity, RF Adaptive Circuits and Subsystems, and Core Intelligent Aerospace Sensor Integration.
NAECON features a yearly "Grand Challenge Problem". For this year, the NAECON Grand Challenge Problem is in the area of "Signals of Opportunity (non-GPS)".. This Grand Challenge seeks to identify innovative navigation and positioning alternatives beyond that of global-positioning system (GPS)-only. Solutions that might substitute or augment navigation for GPS-denied environments and would enable continuous positioning are the objective. Teams or individuals wishing to compete in the Grand Challenge will face a preliminary competition at The Ohio Innovation Summit, on April 22, 2009, where three finalists will be chosen for the final round of competition at NAECON. Refer to the Grand Challenge link for more details.
