Defence iQ’s Digital Transformation in Defence webinar series is designed to take our community on a virtual digital transformation and disruptive technology journey. Each webinar will bring thought leaders from traditional and non-traditional defence industry, SMEs and start-ups to share their expertise with defence customers and military end-users. Discussion will cover the development and application of some of the most innovative technologies emerging today, as well as advise on core requirements, security considerations and future technology implementation.
