DefSecIntel Solutions’ Post

Yesterday, DefSecIntel had a pleasure to host the Estonian Minister of Defence, Mr Hanno Pevkur! It was a productive meeting as we discussed key priorities to support Ukraine, drive innovation, and strengthen our national defence capabilities and local production capacity. He was briefed about the DefSecIntel products new capabilities and new solutions. We also explored opportunities to accelerate innovation, and discussed the new Estonian defence industry fund. #DefSecIntel #DSI #ektl #defenceindustry

I joined Esa Rautalinko, President & CEO of Patria, and Tytti Tuppurainen, Finnish MP, for a dynamic panel at this year's Helsinki Security Forum - HSF, expertly moderated by Lt. Gen. (ret.) Ben Hodges. Together, we tackled the pressing security challenges facing Europe and defense industry’s role in today's complex global landscape.    The central themes of our discussion included: • Leveraging emerging technologies like AI, edge computing, and 5G to respond to evolving threats. • Building a more resilient, advanced defense industry to deliver capabilities faster and more affordably. • Enhancing interoperability through open architecture frameworks, allowing allied forces to operate seamlessly. • Strengthening industry resilience by increasing surge capacity and diversifying supply chains.

Thanks Gary and the QinetiQ team for leading the roundtable today and providing early insight and thought leadership on how we can address this critical sovereign capability. #BMT #QinetiQ #defence #defenceindustry

If anyone is in Brussels right now, let me know so we can connect at AFCEA International TechNet International. I will be giving a talk on the role of military software developers. As we build more cloud capabilities for NATO operations, we need more soldiers that are proficient in software development to develop and adapt new capabilities. As this becomes more common, the alliance has the potential to unleash the tech ecosystems of all member states to enhance the alliance. This will require the right leaders implementing the right policies, and from what I am seeing, NATO is on the right path.

A new #ENDR Conference is taking place today in #Warsaw🇵🇱 Stakeholders from the #EUDefenceIndustry are gathering to discuss the latest innovations in #quantum technologies for defence applications and to learn more about the opportunities provided by the #EDF #StrongerTogether

#SAS2024: NSIN Director Discusses Partnerships to Bring Disruptive Tech to Pentagon In an interview with GovCIO Media & Research, Kedar Pavgi, National Capital Regional Director for the NSIN - National Security Innovation Network, dives into the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)'s collaborations with academia, private industry, and the DoD to integrate early-stage tech that can enhance national security. He highlighted the shift toward the new DIU 3.0 model, which emphasizes enhancing partnerships to scale tech that can bolster national defense. "Partnerships are the lifeblood of how NSIN works and really how DIU as a whole is going to work in moving into the DIU 3.0 model," he said. "Our programs are really designed to make sure that the research that's being done, from the very basic stage to deployment, finds a home and we're able to amplify it and actually make sure it's deployed to the folks who actually need it."

Quantum technology in security and defense is identified as a key emerging technology whose potential applications can allow it to expand its capabilities. These technologies are getting closer to revolutionizing the world of innovation and could change the rules of security, including modern warfare. For any new innovative technology, it is necessary to set the right strategic approach. The NATO Quantum Strategy is the first strategic document approved by the NATO Foreign Ministers, as in January 2024. NATO published a summary of the document. The strategy outlines how quantum can be applied to defense and security, and helps promote and guide NATO‘s collaboration with industry to develop a transatlantic quantum technology ecosystem. Quantum technology is one of the technology areas that NATO Allies prioritize, and it is therefore necessary for all countries to develop a clear approach to development and deployment. #quantumcomputing #quantumcryptography #quantumsecurity 

The Defence Innovation, Science and Technology Strategy, Accelerating Asymmetric Advantage – delivering More, Together, outlines a 10-year vision to drive innovation and capability within Defence through collaboration with industry, universities, and international partners. Responding to the 2024 National Defence Strategy, this initiative focuses on rapidly advancing asymmetric capabilities in a deteriorating strategic environment. The strategy aims to accelerate innovative solutions, enhance strategic partnerships and highlights key priorities such as the #NDS and #AUKUS.

The dynamic security landscape demands that NATO continuously improve its command and control capabilities, and #NATO is committed to meeting this demand. Through rigorous testing and increased connectivity, the Alliance is now more capable than ever before. This ensures that future military capabilities are designed to be interoperable, which ultimately saves time, money, and most importantly, lives. One excellent example of this is the NATO Medical Management Prototype, a ground-breaking software developed by Allied experts. This software, tested at NATO’s largest interoperability exercise #CWIX, is designed to track patients across the area of operation, helping to make the most effective decisions. For 25 years, NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT)-led event CWIX has provided an arena for NATO and nations to test the technology and standards needed to exchange and share information across all domains. This contributes to NATO's future as an Multi-Domain Operations-enabled Alliance, fuelled by #DigitalTransformation. The volume of #commandandcontrol capabilities testing across 18 focus areas is increasing yearly, with CWIX24 featuring 490 capabilities - a twenty percent increase from last year. It is imperative that NATO is more interoperable, proficient, and able to operate in unison, and CWIX enables this mission, providing nations with the benefit of ensuring their command and control systems are deployment-ready. #WeAreNATO #future #managment #medical
