Agenda
10:05 AM Panel: Redesigning the ADF: AI, Autonomy, and the Force of the Future
From Ghost Bat to autonomous maritime systems, from AI-enabled command to sovereign robotics - Australia's force design is being rebuilt around autonomous capability. This panel examines the strategic logic, the hard trade-offs, and what it means for every organisation in the room.
Strategic logic of the autonomous force: why AI and autonomous systems are not just capability additions but a fundamental redesign of how Australia deters, projects force, and fights
The trade-off conversation: where investment in autonomous mass requires difficult decisions about legacy platforms, crewed systems, and procurement programs
From concept to fielded force: the timelines, risks, and milestones that matter on the path to a genuinely autonomous-capable ADF
