Theme

How can traditional defence industry including its

R&D structures be adjusted to accommodate the
specific requirements of various types and forms
of unconventional warfare ?

How can we strengthen C4I of the armed forces

both for defensive and offensive employment to
meet the new challenges posed by high tech
systems accessible to the public at large ?

1. Unconventional Warfare (1/1)

•  Ideological concepts
•  No defined Forces and objectives
•  Long duration
•  Military and paramilitary operations
•  Demonstration of might and power rather than reduction of enemy’s ability to fight
•  No rule (No Geneva convention)
•  Unpredictability and very imaginative
•  Multiplicity of targets : Persons, Infra-structures, Communication assets, …
•  Diversity of means : Biologic, Chemical, Explosive, …
•  Use of terrain as force multiplier : guerilla and urban environment
•  Media coverage oriented
•  Terrorism when operations are out of the law of war

Need of specific solutions from the Defence Industry

2. Main missions (1/1)

•  Prevention
•  Emergency situations, unconventional attacks, terrorist actions
•  Surveillance and Detection
•  Identification (actors has no uniform…)
•  Decision help
•  Protection
•  Populations, Forces, critical infra-structure, borders, sea straits
•  Neutralization
•  Chirurgical precision, adapted to the mission, possibility to abort,
in line with rules of engagements
•  Gain population support

Protection of civilian and military Individuals is key

8. MBDA solutions on C4I against unconventional warfare (1/1)

•  Unconventional warfare is more and more demanding to enhance

system aspects of various sensors and weapons, with the aim to
achieve a more versatile coordinated protection during operations, as
well as to strength the security aspect

•  MBDA, as contracting authority for major Defence Systems, masters

the relevant C2 and related technologies

•  These competences allow to build local area coordination systems

capable to fuse sensors and effectors in the Military field, as well as to
support civilian Security Agencies

•  MBDA, very attentive on this segment, is creating modular C2

architectures in order to shape future systems according with these
emerging missions / threats

9. Conclusion (1/1)

The conventional Defence Industry is fully capable of adapting its

products to the evolving requirements thanks to :
 the understanding of the operational needs
 the mastering of technologies
 the quick reactivity

Pakistan and MBDA always have had good cooperation history

through Mistral, SPADA, SM39 and Milan

MBDA is convinced to perpetuate this cooperation ensuring good

quality and efficient solutions also against unconventional Warfare
