Professor Tanya Monro AC's 'minimum viable capability' concept emphasizes rapid military tech development, innovation alignment, and industry collaboration via ASCA. Embracing risks, creativity, and young talent engagement aligns well with the demands of modern warfare. #ASCA #TanyaMonro #MinimumViableCapability #MilitaryTech #InnovationPriorities #ModernWarfare #StrategicAdvantage #DefenceIndustry #IndustryEngagement

The shift in Defence Innovation towards deploying a 'Minimum Viable Capability' emphasises #collaboration between the defence sector and industry to rapidly develop military tech and align innovation priorities with resources through #ASCA. This approach not only recognises the dynamic nature of modern warfare but also highlights the importance of agility, risk acceptance and adaptability to enhance Australia's defence readiness in response to evolving threats. #DefenceIndustry #IndustryEngagement #DefenceInnovation #MinimumViableCapability #DefenceCapability Source: https://lnkd.in/gNfnbSNh

The UWA DSI Masterclass Series continued with an engaging and forward-looking session, focusing on how disruptive technologies, advanced capabilities, and a skilled workforce are shaping the future of defence. With compelling Keynote Addresses from both Air Commodore Guy Adams, Director General, Data and Systems Design, Force Integration Division; outlining the Australian Defence Force vision for AUKUS Pillar II; and Rear Admiral Lee Goddard CSC, Executive Director of the Australian Missile Corporation, sharing insights on shaping the future of defence with advanced technologies. The conversation continued with our first panel discussion, addressing "How to Shift the Dial" in Defence innovation. Moderated by Professor Gia Parish, Chair of the UWA Defence and Security Institute, the panel explored how Australia can accelerate technological advancements and drive collaboration between Defence, industry, and academia to meet emerging security challenges. Thank you to our esteemed panellists, who brought forward their diverse expertise: John Chappell, Chief Executive Officer, Scitech; Fergus (Gus) McLachlan, AO, FRSN, Senior Advisor, Defence & National Security, University of Sydney; and Pia Turcinov AM, Director and General Partner, FundWA Follow for more thought-provoking panels and keynotes as the Masterclass continues! #UWADSI_AUKUS #AUKUSPillarII #DefenceInnovation #AIQuantumCyber #AutonomousSystems #CollaborativeSecurity #FutureOfDefence #DisruptiveTechnology #AdvancedCapabilities #DefenseInnovation

The Four Pillars of Tactical Innovation: A Path For Impactful Disruption The path to military innovation lies in these four pillars: ground-up ideation, rapid prototyping, creative applications of tactics, and the integration and development of novel concepts. In this article, recommended by the Chief of Staff of the Army, retired Master Sgt. Robert Leach writes about how embracing these principles fosters a culture of innovation within the military, driving the ability to adapt to evolving threats and incorporate new, emergent technologies ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eg2yPj8c What innovations are you looking forward to in the future of military operations? Let's discuss the possibilities.

With the establishment of a new command aimed at centralizing the development of future air capabilities, it's evident that a paradigm shift is underway in defense strategy. In an era where the threat landscape is rapidly evolving, the need for a unified approach to air defense has never been more pressing. Fragmentation in capability development could potentially leave gaps in our readiness, which is why initiatives like this command are so crucial. As we anticipate emerging challenges, the 𝑨𝒊𝒓 𝑫𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆 𝑺𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕 stands at a pivotal juncture. Collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas between experts in various fields will drive the next generation of defense technologies. From advanced radar systems to innovative long-range strike capabilities, every component plays a vital role in safeguarding our skies.

Since its inspection in April 2023, the BRAVE1 Defense Technology Cluster has allocated $3,045,000 for developers creating defense innovations. The cluster has distributed a total of 173 grants, according to Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Digital Transformation. BRAVE1 was launched in April 2023 with the goal to accelerate the development of technologies that would help on the battlefield against russian occupiers. Anyone can join the cluster, regardless of whether there is only an idea or a developed prototype. BRAVE1 accompanies developers at all stages, from application to codification according to NATO standards and contracting. For 2024, BRAVE1 has allocated UAH 1.5 billion for grants, while the number of grants has increased to 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, 100,000, and 200,000 dollars. TOP-8 directions for grants: 54 — ground robotic complexes; 30 — UAVs; 19 — defense and security systems of the military; 12 — intelligence; 11 — logistics; 10 — communication; 8 — samples and weapon systems; 7 — Electronic signals intelligence (ELINT);

Yes, but... I couldn't agree more that we need to get cutting edge technologies into the hands of the warfighter as fast as possible. However, we should not do that at the expense of pursuing long-term technology advances to equip our forces in the future. A common thread in many discussions of Defence capability is the need for improved understanding of requirements to which, Defence scientists and Defence Industry can apply their considerable skills. The challenges are to articulate those requirements and to do so with enough lead time so the resulting technology can be developed and delivered. I recently travelled overseas as part of my Master's to compare and contrast the policy settings and Defence Industry response in two other nations. In both cases, the countries were experiencing immediate and existential threats and had been for many years. Both, had well developed innovation and development pathways to get technology to the frontline. However, their long-term future capability development had suffered neglect and was an increasing risk. The conflict of tomorrow will be fought with the capability we can deliver today, while the conflicts of the future will be fought with capabilities that we can conceive. #defenceindustry #defencecapability #futuresanalysis #foresighting #dstg #innovation #strategicplanning
