FIELDING GAME-CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES TO THE FRONT-LINE

‘As the world changes, so must we. We are responding with a bold and ambitious innovation initiative – to embed innovation across our organisation and transform the way we think and operate’ 
– Rt Hon Ben Wallace MP, Secretary of State for Defence

Key NATO nations are prioritising digitisation, disruptive innovation, and the transformation of capability across ISR; C2; the manned/unmanned/autonomous mix on land, at sea, in the air and in space; and synthetic training for future multi-domain operations.

In response to this, and the huge success of the 2019 conference, the world leading Disruptive Technology for Defence Transformation Conference will return on 15-18 September.

In light of on-going uncertainty around COVID-19, the fourth iteration of the conference will be delivered online. Taking place over 4 days, it will bring together senior figures from Armed Forces, Government, Industry and Academia to explore the integration of Digital Age technologies to retain strategic overmatch in future hybrid warfare.

While COVID-19 has disrupted many traditional processes, including face-to-face meetings and events, it has also unleashed new opportunities in digitization. The DTDT Digital conference recognizes the strategic imperative to innovate through collaboration and provides a forum for knowledge sharing, network expansion, and international cooperation. Held online, it allows many more military officers the opportunity to participate, for free and without the burden of travel expense and lengthy TDY.

DTDT Digital will continue the discussion on how the application of Digital Age technology transforms the delivery of ‘full spectrum effects’. It will foster debate on joint experimentation and accelerated procurement to align new military hard power with the whole range of soft power including cyber and social media. Welcoming perspectives form leaders shaping defence policy, it will assess how acquisition structures and processes can (and must) be adapted to ensure that armed forces are able to keep pace with industry’s progression.
