| Description: |
While long-term technological superiority in
support of deterrence was highest on the agenda
for NATO and EU for quite some time, operational
readiness, improvement of warfighting
capabilities, and short-term availability of
technology in the C5ISR field gained significant
importance in the wake of the current political
and military situation in Europe. Tensions are
high, war is around the corner.
Trying to keep up with the dynamic development in
IT and Cyber technologies in the private sector
and sustainable support via solid and secure
supply chains add to the challenges of today.
Actual wars with high relevance for Europe, like
the Ukraine war and the Gaza conflict, offer deep
insights into the new elements of warfighting, and
its rapidly changing requirements. Unconventional
solutions and methods for implementing information
technology in the broadest sense for defence may
become the new standard.
There is a growing appetite for the immediate
availability of sensors, data, and effectors, thus
affecting architecture, computing systems,
algorithms, software, and many more C5ISR
elements. The inclusion of combat systems
platforms widens the scope into an inter-connected
C6ISR ¿world¿, the growing role of software is
mirrored by the concept of Software Defined
Defence.
The Brussels community of defence IT experts in
each of the NATO, EU institutions, national
representations, industry and academia may be
aware of the current situation, relevant to their
daily work. The exchange between them, however, on
new developments, requirements, projects and
possibilities in C5ISR, as a whole, will be most
beneficial to everybody, gaining views the big
picture beyond institutional boundaries will be
supported by a networking conference and
exhibition such as TechNet International. New
faces may be welcomed, and upcoming business
opportunities may be explored during the two days
of the conference. Mutual understanding of
chances, risks and challenges can be fostered.
Information about strategic initiatives, plans,
and policies by NATO and EU officials will be
complemented by updates on running projects such
as DIANA and HEDI.
In order to encourage discussions and have
exchanges on new developments, IT applications and
technologies, the following topics will be
discussed during sessions at TechNet International
2024. They should offer a broad basis for
presentations, discussions and ethical exchange in
an exemplary way. While advancing with the
programme, new elements may be integrated.
