Capacity

Quality Relationship is one of the greatest asset.

The recently concluded U.S. - India iCET Joint Communique, has a special emphasis on U.S. - India cooperation in the space sector. Both Civil Space & Commercial Space are witnessing tremendous bilateral collaboration at the G2G as well as the B2B level. Several Indian startups in the space sector are expanding operations into the U.S. market, while at the same time, India has notified liberalization of the Space Sector via the FDI rules notification. Please follow the quoted post, to hear insights from experts & industry stakeholders, who joined & spoke at the recently concluded U.S. - India Commercial Space Conference, jointly organized by U.S. Commercial Service & USIBC in Bengaluru on May 24, 2024, in partnership with ISRO and IN-SPACe. The highlights include keynotes by Dr S Somanath, Honourable Chairman, ISRO, H.E. Ambassador Eric Garcetti, U.S. Ambassador to India, Dr. Sanghamitra Dutta, Lead Scientist of the NISAR Mission, NASA, among others. #Space #USIndia #SpaceTech #CommercialSpaceTech #India #USA

BLAST FROM THE PAST--STILL A GREAT PANEL!: When we think about the causes of the United States Space Force, it's important to understand what was happening at the time that the push for a Space Corps started. Most focus on the threat (which was critical), but it wasn't the only thing going on. Part of that was examining the commercial trends. In this April 2017 panel, you see Lt Col Thomas Schilling showcasing the thinking of the Air University team regarding the coming evolution of space (summarized in the FAST SPACE report), and why the AU team was championing a major elevation in space and military space to stay ahead in what we now call Strategic competition. They saw the coming revolution in reusable launch and its inevitable march to a Cislunar economy and the opportunity for America to advance its position in STRATEGIC COMPETITION, and its need to be secured--so commerce (and US competitive position) can flourish. Of note, this was the SAME DAY as Chairman Mike Rogers 2017 Space Symposium, and just months after M.V. "Coyote" Smith's seminal article, "America Needs a Space Corps" in War is Boring (Feb). Besides Thomas Schilling, the Air University/AETC Team who were leading the charge to create an independent space service include Steve Kwast, Brent Ziarnick, M.V. "Coyote" Smith, Everett Dolman, David Stuckenberg, MPS, Ph.D.). https://lnkd.in/gVhs3dwF Tory Bruno United Launch Alliance (ULA) Jim Keravala

#FundingOpportunity AFRL/AFOSR, the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), and the Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP) have announced a joint solicitation for three-year research grants in breakthrough quantum information science and technologies. White papers are due February 13, 2024. NRF/IITP have a long 14-year relationship with the United States Air Force and sister services for supporting basic scientific research efforts. In order to continue to encourage scientists and engineers in both countries to collaborate in these emerging technology areas and to leverage their intellectual resources, AFRL/AFOSR and NRF/IITP are pursuing parallel programs in Quantum Information Science and Technologies.

🌍 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐀 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 A recent alert (https://lnkd.in/g2D5f97H) from Axel Ferrazzini sparked my interest in the dynamic landscape of international collaboration in quantum technologies. 🤝 The advancement of #quantumtechnology is undeniably a global imperative, yet it's unfolding amidst a complex geopolitical chessboard. Two recent exemples. As pointed by Axel's post, the recent NATO note pledges for concerted efforts and is reflecting a unified front of its member nations (https://lnkd.in/gu8xhEWr). On the other, there's the burgeoning collaboration between BRICS countries, as seen in the China-Russia quantum communication initiative (https://lnkd.in/gpJf_EtA). We can quote here, Fedorov from Russia’s National University of Science and Technology who hints at the potential establishment of a quantum communication network among BRICS nations in the future, far from US's threat. 🌐 This dichotomy paints a striking but sadly realistic picture: while we are making great strides toward scientific progress, these developments are increasingly overshadowed by the strategic alignments and rivalries of world powers. It's a reminder that when it comes to quantum advances, technology and politics are inextricably linked. #quantumtechnology #internationalcollaboration #BRICS #NATO #globaldiplomacy

Janes will provide deep subject matter expertise and benchmarking analyses to identify global lessons learned and best practices to Know Hub Chile, an association of universities, scientific and technological centers, and other knowledge-generating institutions. KnowHub Chile is leading an initiative with Chile’s Ministry of National Defense, which is building a defense innovation hub to catalyze the country’s scientific, technical, and industrial capabilities, and fuel a national innovation ecosystem from which both the public and private sectors can benefit. Dual innovation of the public and private sectors has led to groundbreaking advancements throughout human history. In recent years, KnowHub has collaborated with the Chilean Armed Forces and global defense companies through open innovation programs, supporting the Ministry of National Defense’s mandate to design the future Public Technological Institute for Defense Innovation.

❕ New paper alert! ❗ Today I had the opportunity to present my research paper 📜 , A Bayesian Network Approach to Hybrid Threat Modelling to the International Conference on Military Communication and Information Systems (ICMCIS) as part of NATO Science & Technology Organization (STO). 👨💻 As hybrid threats are gaining prominence in modern conflicts, insights into the effectiveness of counter-hybrid measures are increasingly relevant. Using empirical simulations, our modelling effort sheds light on the effectiveness of various measures in the context of a cyber-attack on critical infrastructure. 💡 Please find a preprint of our paper at https://lnkd.in/e5hQ5MbJ.

⚛️Summer news! Denmark leads the way in quantum technology Denmark will chair the newly established international NATO forum for quantum technology, the Transatlantic Quantum Community (TQC). This initiative aligns with NATO’s quantum strategy to build a quantum-ready alliance and engage with governments, industry, and academia across the quantum innovation ecosystems. Denmark's leadership in the quantum field is well-established. We were among the pioneers to launch a Danish national quantum strategy in 2023. At the “Copenhagen Quantum 2023” event, the NATO Secretary General and the Danish Prime Minister emphasized the importance of a transatlantic quantum community. Leveraging Denmark’s expertise in public-private partnerships, the TQC aims to address the most pressing quantum challenges through enhanced dialogue with academia, industry, end-users, and governments. As we assume the first chairmanship of the TQC, Denmark is committed to advance quantum technology development and application amidst a rapidly evolving global security landscape. This leadership role underscores Denmark's dedication to fostering international collaboration and innovation in quantum technologies. 📞Reach out to me or one if my colleagues at Invest in Denmark if you want to explore your quantum opportunities in Denmark. We provide free-of-charge confidential and tailor-made solutions for foreign companies looking to set up a new business in Denmark or expand an existing one. #InvestInDenmark #QuantumLeadership #quantumtechnology #NATO #PublicPrivatePartnerships #Denmark #TransatlanticQuantumCommunity #DKmeansBusiness

Chinese researchers develop a new dual-band stealth material. The team of researchers is part of Nanjing University. Nanjing University is part of the so-called Seven Sons of National Defense. Seven Sons of National Defense (国防七子) are a group of public universities affiliated with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. They are believed to have formed collaborations and scientific research projects with the People's Liberation Army #PLA Three-quarters of the graduates hired by China's state-owned defense enterprises come from the Seven Sons. The Seven Sons devote at least half of their research budgets to military products. #PLA #China #Military #Intelligence Read #ExtremaRatio https://lnkd.in/d55kcAgU
