The MIT Lincoln Laboratory A2/AD Systems and Technology Workshop provides an overview of the anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) challenges facing the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. The workshop examines systems, tactics, and technologies to counter these emerging threats across a range of domains. Mission areas covered by the workshop include base and fleet defense, contested airspace, space control, cyber warfare, ISR architectures and systems, communications, and undersea warfare.

NATO releases first ever quantum strategy - NATO "The strategy outlines how quantum can be applied to defence and security in areas such as sensing, imaging, precise positioning, navigation and timing, improve the detection of submarines, and upgrade and secure data communications using quantum resistant cryptography. Many of these technologies are already used in the private sector and have become the subject of strategic competition." Calian Group knows that space capabilities are essential to conducting modern warfare. From land-based or airborne sensors transmitting real-time data, to net-enabled communications systems and data fusion in command posts for maintaining situational awareness, modern warfare needs space capabilities, AI and cybersecurity.

🚀 As a follow up to my intervention at the 🇩🇪 Berlin Security Conference last december, Behörden Spiegel Eva-Charlotte Proll and Reinhard Wolski invited me to be part of the discussion at todays “Defence days: The military use of space - international and national trends” Re-usable space vehicles, satellites and the critical infrastructure on the ground for command and support-they are the enablers for multi-domain use on the strategic, operational and tactical level of every nation, as well as alliances as NATO and the EU. The EU in her report titled “Task Force on the resilience of critical infrastructure” focused on the defence of potential attacks from and within space. For operational design and the success of military forces in the capability domains of C2, ISR, effects and sustainment, robust space capabilities are paramount.   On the 28th February Defence Day “The military use of space – international and national trends” international space experts from academia/research, international und national space commands  as well as industry will offer insights into their portfolio of responsibilities.
This Defence Day will be a follow-on from the successful panel at the Berlin Security Conference 2023, now focusing upon essential questions like the integration of space capabilities into a capable military-civil defence, build-up of resilient structures as well as future ways and means for protection of satellites and infrastructure against attacks.   #SpaceSecurity #DefenseInnovation #BSC23 #BSC23Highlights #ForzeArmate #difesa #futuro #spazio #NewSpace #tecnologia #innovazione #ricerca #AeronauticaMilitare #space #military #defence #defensetechnology #cyber #cybersecurity

In the realm of military and government networks, ensuring security and reliability is crucial. The optimal approach to fortifying these networks for defense capabilities is through the implementation of integrated managed services driven by automation. As we peer into the future, particularly beyond 2024, we anticipate a notable increase in efforts directed towards the development and deployment of multi-transport networks.

My colleague Amalia Khachatryan & I have written a blog for Tony Blair Institute for Global Change in advance of the Munich Security Conference The piece frames what we see as the five key emerging pillars required to develop the right defence strategy to fact the threats of our time. Hopefully it is a useful read pre-MSC for what to look out for. 1. New threats require new capabilities. Cheap drones (e.g. $200 even) are sinking battleships, or are being shot down by multi-million dollar drones. Boots on the ground still seem an enduring requirement but with what mix of skills? 2. Shifting geopolitical realities are creating a more complex operating environment. We are currently experiencing the highest number of conflicts per year since 1946 (five times higher). Global trade is increasingly politicised (friend-shoring). The world is increasingly divided around the axes of the Global North and South. 3. Technologies that emerge aren't static, they are evolving at speed. This requires a whole new approach to procurement that involves closer engagement between the state and the private sector. The Brave1 Programme in Ukraine is a really good example of this. 4. New skills are required in the armed forces. A typical Ukrainian assault group comprises 12-16 soldiers. This group will now be accompanied by a similar number of drone operators. A different mix of generalists and specialists are needed within the military. And greater interaction between the military and the private sector (secondments etc). 5. To underpin all of this a new strategy and approach to strategy is needed. It requires whole-of-government thinking, as well as better interaction with the private sector. It also requires more careful thinking around how to work with partners and what capabilities to focus on. China and the US spend more on defence than the rest of the top 40 spending countries combined. If you aren't a superpower you need a smart strategy. Would love your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/eerXu3Sg #msc2024 #MSCreport #geopolitics #geopoliticalrisk #defence #military

#Cyber is an integral part of all military planning and #operations spanning multiple domains like #space operations. Kopecky has been developing this #critical #connection, not just between cyber and space, but throughout #16thAirForce operations that expand the #globe. “I #integrate anywhere I can to help personnel understand the space #terrain,” said Kopecky. “For instance, how do space systems work, what are the #threat #actors, #adversaries in space — how do they #operate with #terrestrialnodes, #communications, #signals #intelligence, #personalities or any type of activity that is space related.” A priority effort for the United States Space Force 16th Air Force involves improving the #resilience of U.S. space #architectures and hardening #networks against #hostile cyber operations. Sixteenth Air Force’s #defensive cyberspace operations facilitates #resilient U.S. space architectures that various combatant commands, U.S. Cyber Command , United States Strategic Command and U.S. European Command , and U.S. Allies rely on. Emerging threats in defensive and #offensive counterspace operations makes Space Force and 16th Air Force’s symbiotic relationship vital to protecting #criticalinformation and #information #systems against cyberattack or network #intrusions. One of 16th Air Force’s wing’s, the 688th Cyberspace Wing , is the United States Air Force 's premier cyberspace #warfighting organization. They deliver #tactics, #techniques, and #procedures, defensive cyber operations and #networksecurity operations across the Air Force Information Network enterprise. The Air Force Information Network, a portion of the United States Department of Defense Information Network, is a complex #networked infrastructure that all U.S. #military organizations use to carry out their #missions. Assigned to the 688th Cyberspace Wing is the #33rdCyberspaceOperationsSquadron, which takes on the important mission to protect, #detect and #respond to threats on #AFIN 24/7, 365 days a year. “The 33rd COS also partners with Space Force to #provide various #tactics, #techniques, and #procedures, and #tradecraft tips used in the pursuit of performing Cyber Security Service #Provider functions across the enterprise to #SpaceDelta6.” Space Delta 6, under Space Operations Command , is the Space Force’s designated #CSSP for space-based systems. “The Space Force is just four years old, and we are starting to get #equipped to be a #part of #jointforce operational planning and #IW planning,” said Kopecky. “As the Space Force grows, my role will continue to integrate and #innovate Space Force #capabilities within 16th Air Force to #counter potential #threats, and #secure and defend Space Forces’ architecture that our operations rely on.” Space Command AU NATO Space Centre of Excellence National Space Intelligence Center UK Space Command Space Systems Command Space ISAC #LESCADRONDESSYSTÈMESDINFORMATIONOPÉRATIONNELSETDECYBERDÉFENSE (#ESIOC)

Just read through the Executive Summary (16 pages) for this open source report and it's definitely informative. Adding the full report to my Weekend Wisdom List...

In 2024, we expect to see the five defence domains (land, air, sea, cyber and space) move towards an integrated force based on data sharing and edge processing, similar to an enterprise data services model. Moving each of the domains away from being platform orientated and towards a service orientated architecture approach with timely, actionable and mission-critical data and intelligence as the driving force. However, such progress is only possible with cross industry, government and international collaboration, to build collaborative cultures, establish resilient standards and implement technology to bring Multi-Domain Integration to life. As revealed in our recent research that found defence decision makers acknowledge both government (58%) and industry (57%) should play a role in providing resources to develop and implement MDI strategies. #MavenScouts #Land #Air #Sea #Space #Industry
