Day 2 - Operations & Firepower - 23 JAN

14:00 INTELLIGENCE FORMING REQUIREMENTS

Analysis of the operational environment (OE) can inform the capabilities and characteristics needed by AFVs to win in current and future conflicts. However, trends emerging from the current OE need to be balanced against emerging and future threats to ensure future AFV design isn’t derailed by near term priorities. What tools are available to do this? And what do they suggest future AFV requirements will need to include?

  • OSINT observations - trends in the OE and in technology development can aide material acquisition and focus resources on capability areas to prioritise. These near term priorities must be balanced against longer-term future AFV design. How can OSINT inform this process? What tools are available? What considerations need to be taken into account when drawing insights?
  • Digital Threat Twins – taking a modular open systems model-based approach promises to revolutionise testing and concept development. These benefits will become easier to capture with the wider adoption of Digital Engineering. What are the challenges faced in achieving this? What are the main benefits and how can these benefits be captured?
  • Foreign Materiel Acquisition
