Professor Scott Tyo

Chief Platforms Defence Science and Technology Group

Tuesday, 11th November | Conference Day One

9:00 AM Panel Discussion | Smart Scale: Delivering Affordable Mass with Autonomous Systems

  • What does it take to integrate AI meaningfully—not just as isolated pilots, but as capability that’s trusted, deployed, and enduring?
  • How can autonomous and AI-enabled systems be used to achieve scale, redundancy, and presence—without unsustainable cost?
  • How do we design systems where humans remain central, but are enabled by AI to act faster, better, and with greater effect?
  • How do we balance global partnerships with sovereign control over mission-critical systems and decision logic?
  • Where should Australia focus its energy—doctrine, procurement models, or partnerships—to accelerate real-world AI capability in the next 2–3 years?
