The conference is being held as news of the death of at least one Palestinian policeman, killed by a missile from a UCAV/drone, is filtering through on the newswires. A drone was also responsible for the picture of a stretcher that the Israelis claimed was a rocket - which raises concerns about the accuracy of their cameras. Information from the cameras is sent to a control room in Tel Aviv, where it is assessed and acted upon - innocent people are all too often caught up in the atacks that are launched remotely.

Details of the programme are on the conferences website

From 5pm people will be gathering outside the Cafe Royal, to say goodnight to the delegates as they wander off after their drinks reception, and ponder their last session, which includes a discussion on

"The Importance of UCAVs within a future Network Centric Warfare Paradigm"

Which means "killing people without leaving the safety of your office"
