What Does a Speakers Bureau Do? The bureau’s job is to help you find the right speaker for your event. If you were to research and try to book your own speakers, you would spend hours gathering information that may or may not get you somewhere. Sometimes finding the contact information is the easy part, but you never really know a speaker’s presence like a bureau does. Join our speaker bureau today!: https://lnkd.in/dADyZkgg..

Articles in this issue cover a wide range of topics in aerospace medicine, human performance, and safety. This one is unique because of all of the research contributions were projects from first tour AEPs. The highlights: - Alexandra Kaplan’s work highlighting the challenges of bladder relief devices in the aviation environment (plus bonus background article on why she joined the Navy). - Sarah Beadle’s summary of the Navy’s first Maintenance Line Operations Safety Assessment conducted by an all active-duty team and what the data can be used for. - Kaila A. Vento’s spotlight on investigations into sex differences in responses to aerospace stressors and hypoxia.

Another key milestone towards EU industrial defence readiness, in the wake of the presentation of the new European Defence Industrial Strategy (EDIS) on 5 March! Today, the Commission allocated €500 million to ramp up ammunition production, out of a broader amount of €2 billion to strenghten the EU's (and Norway's) defence industry. Meaning: 31 projects have been selected for funding under the ASAP programme, allowing the European defence industry to ramp up its ammunition production capacity to 2 million shells per year by the end of 2025. With a new decisive step in the implementation the EDIRPA programme, we are also incentivising Member States, and also Norway, to acquire together, through joint procurement, the defence products they need. And finally, with the adoption of the 4th annual work programme of the European Defence Fund (EDF), we will very soon publish new calls for proposals for defence R&D projects. With the funding earmarked for the 2024 proposals, we have already, overall, more than €4 billion invested thought the EDF in the European defence industry, for R&D on the defence technologies and capabilities of tomorrow.

Does your plan fit the actual situation? Tailor your response with the GCRG! Strategies may encourage a focus on “one size fits all”-recommendations, which do not take into account situations and contexts to which the recommendations do not translate. One example of this was taken up by three-star general Daniel P. Bolger in his book Why We Lost, who argues that four-star general David Petraeus overgeneralized his plans in believing that the same strategies would work for the ISAF in Afghanistan as those which had worked for US forces in Iraq. If you suspect that you are following standardized action plans in situations which are anything but standardized, get in touch with the GCRG for a free initial consultation on how to assess differing situations differently. At our landing page (https://lnkd.in/dWhYTa8r), you can learn more about our track record, and submit your e-mail address to me there. You will hear from me within 48 hours of contact. Make sure your strategy rests on solid ground—strengthen your approach with the GCRG!

What does feeling safe and thinking about a safe society mean to various groups of people over time? From feelings of unsafety generated by early modern fake news to safety issues related to twentieth-century drug use in public space, this volume demonstrates how ‘safety’ is not just a social or biological condition to pursue but also a historical and cultural construct.

DoD has issued a final rule amending the DFARS to increase the domestic content threshold for items to be considered "domestic end products." The threshold is 65% for items delivered in years 2024 through 2028, and increases to 75% in 2029. The structure of the test remains the same (i.e., cost of components and inclusion of qualifying country content as well as U.S. content). It is worth noting that DoD made specific mention of Reciprocal Defense Procurement (RDP) Agreements in its Discussion and Analysis: "The public interest exception to the Buy American statute and the use of RDP Agreements with qualifying countries in DoD [sic] are essential to ensure mutual military readiness, standardization, and interoperability of equipment between the armed forces of the associated allied nations and for national security interests." https://lnkd.in/e6X3VZjn

💥 The European Commission just unveiled a major game-changer for the European defence industry: the European Defence Industry Strategy (EDIS) and the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP). 💫 This ambitious move is all about empowering EU's defence capabilities like never before! 💪 Key points from these documents include: 💶 A budget of €1.5 billion from the current Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) is allocated to support this initiative, in the context of the Proposal for the establishment of EDIP. 🤝 The creation of the Structure for European Armament Programme, which aims to provide a method for cooperative defence programmes. This includes enhanced EDIP funding, streamlined procurement procedures, VAT exemptions for jointly owned equipment, and the option for financing through debt instruments. 🛡️ The European Military Sales mechanisms, set to be fully implemented by 2028, will introduce a defence product catalogue, financial support for defence capability pools, simplified procurement processes, and training for procurement agents. 📈 The Commission intends to boost the value of intra-EU defence trade by 2030 and proposes that Member States (MS) should procure at least 40% of defence equipment collaboratively by 2030. 💼 A new Fund to Accelerate Defence Supply Chain Transformation (FAST) will be established to provide easier financial access for SMEs, mid-caps, and other entities within the defence supply chain. 🌐 There will be an increased emphasis on cooperation with Ukraine, NATO, and "EU compatible and like-minded countries" to strengthen Europe's defence capabilities. These initiatives are aimed at making the EU's defence industry more competitive and are designed to address both current and future security challenges. 🚀 For more details on how this impacts you, do not hesitate to contact our Defence and Space expert Milan R.
