Knowledge and technology is a secure future. This is the right way to go

Yesterday, Lars Povl Jensen, Head of Defence, attended a seminar on Critical Infrastructure and the Need for Sub-Sea Technology hosted by Dansk Erhverv in collaboration with CenSec - Center for Defence, Space & Security.   Under the guidance of Thomas Elkjer Nissen and Klaus Bolving, the discussions navigated through vital topics, emphasising the need for robust collaboration among governmental bodies, academic institutions, and industries.   "The seminar reminded me of the great value in coming together, pooling our expertise, and charting a course towards solutions that benefit us all", shared Lars Povl Jensen   A special thanks for the engaging insights and for adding invaluable depth to our collective understanding to: -Tobias Liebetrau, University of Copenhagen - Jens Møller, Royal Danish Defence College - Carsten Sølund Jensen, RoC Consult - Jesper Liniger, Aalborg University - Anders Lønne, Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) - Tim Lysholt Jensen, Teledyne RESON - Felix Ebbestad, SAAB Danmark - Lars Gert Lose, CIP - Claes Jeppsson, RWE - Ingolfur Thor Gudmundsson, Vattenfall   Here's to continued collaboration and meaningful progress in safeguarding our critical infrastructure.   #SubseaTechnology #DanskErhverv #CenSec   #defence #maritime #criticalinfrastructure #subsea #seabedwarfare #surveillance  

The antipodeans Sir Ernest Rutherford "father of nuclear physics" and Sir Mark Oliphant, "Opposer of the fission bomb" were the first experimental demonstrators of nuclear fusion. Why then are the Australian Government and the Federal Opposition not working to get it developed in Australia and bring it back home? New Zealand has, so why not Australia? Interesting articles about Nuclear and I know you haven't looked at Fusion. So let's look at the nuclear or Fission option versus Fusion 1. Fission (Nuclear) Not able to be licenced. https://lnkd.in/gbm2t5uU 2. Authorities have the power to grant licenses for fusion, which is not explicitly covered by the Nuclear Act or the ARPANSA definition. https://lnkd.in/gjKFABpy The above ARPANSA link defines nuclear as fission—no mention of Fusion. 3. A fission (Nuclear)reactor without fissile fuel is a building. 4. A fusion reactor without fissile fuel is a fusion reactor building 5, Fissile (Nuclear) fuel availability and the future cost is a concern, especially for economists and users Dittmar, M. (2011). The End of Cheap Uranium. ArXiv. /abs/1106.3617 Even the UN has identified this, so why does the Fission(Nuclear) industry persist in denying its death like fossil fuels https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr 6. Should the focus in Australia be on nuclear fission advancement or the promotion of fusion technology? 7, Fission (Nuclear) is only at present in 39 countries out of 189. 8. Is Dutton doing a Menzies and wanting a loophole to get fission (Nuclear) weapons to start with for the subs? 9. Australia still has no high-level radiation waste storage facility 10. Helion Fusion has committed to having its fusion version working in 2028 11. The FIA (Fusion Industry Association) has postulated that commercial power fusion will be available in the 2030s. 12. In its fusion conference report in 2023, the IAEA postulated that all International nuclear (Fission) Laws like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty do not consider fusion, so it seems it can be built in Australia now. 13. Fusion is also being developed "Small Modular Fusion Reactors" like Zap Energy and Avalanche Energy. 14. HB11 and the UNSW Tokamak project have positioned Australia prominently in the trillion-dollar international fusion industry. Instead of relying on fission with a limited lifetime, wouldn't it be preferable to support Australian renewables, batteries, and hydrogen energy generators and back them up with a fusion power plant? This would eliminate the traditional waste problem while still providing medical isotopes and advancements in medical technology like MRIs. Let's focus on creating a sustainable future for Australia instead of perpetuating pollution and leading to an energy crisis. https://lnkd.in/ekakyifA

Maiar Director Tony Reeves will be heading to DGI - Defence Geospatial Intelligence from 11 – 13 March alongside our friends from Planet. Tony will be on hand to chat with you about our intelligence analysis work and our long-standing and exciting relationship with Planet.  If you’d like to set up a meeting, please contact the team Planet directly. #TeamMaiar #DefenceIndustry #DefenseIndustry #IntelligenceAnalysis #Intelligence #DefenceIntelligence #DefenseIntelligence #DGI #DefenceGeospatialIntelligence #DefenseGeospatialIntelligence 

European Defence Fund Info Days 2024 are coming! Do not miss this event! Excellent initiative to strengthen the European Defence industrial base. I am proud to support this initiative from the EDA by managing the EDF22 EC2 and EDIDP ECYSAP projects. The European Defence Fund (EDF) facilitates the development of competitive and collaborative defence initiatives among companies across Member States. Its aim is to produce innovative and interoperable defence technologies and equipment. The EDF provides comprehensive support and guidance to participants throughout all stages of research and development. With a budget of close to €8 billion for the period of 2021-2027, the Fund allocates €2.7 billion for collaborative defence research and €5.3 billion for collaborative capability development projects, which complement national contributions. The 2024 EDF Work Programme encompasses 32 call topics, organized into six thematic calls for proposals, two non-thematic calls for proposals, and two actions. It prioritizes projects in vital defence sectors, including countering hypersonic missiles, advancing various unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, and enhancing secure space communication. Moreover, the programme lays the groundwork for next-generation defence systems like helicopters and mid-size cargo aircraft.

🌐 Inspiring Testimonial from Giuseppe G. Daquino, President of CapTech Materials at the European Defence Agency 🌐   It is with immense pride that we share the testimonial of Giuseppe Daquino, who represented the European Defence Agency at the 3rd edition of the AuxDefense Conference and will be one of the #Keynote #Speakers at #AuxDefense2024.   Giuseppe Daquino praised the organization of the conference, considering it highly perceptible, and highlighted the excellent papers and presenters. He emphasized the importance of the topics covered, which addressed different areas than those in 2018, which are crucial for ballistic protections and CBRN protections.   Inspired by this testimony, we invite everyone to be part of AUXDEFENSE2024. The deadline for abstract submission is now February 29th. Don't wait any longer!

EDF Work Programme 2024: The 2024 European Defence Fund (#EDF) Work Programme, with a budget allocation of €1.1 billion, includes 32 call topics. Emphasizing defence innovation, the programme supports advancements in countering hypersonic missiles, unmanned vehicle systems, and space communications, among other areas. A significant portion of funding is allocated to the EU Defence Innovation Scheme (#EUDIS), promoting innovation and supporting #SMEs in the defence sector.

The only way to strengthen the European common security and defense is through industrial cooperation among willing countries. Mutual trust and common vision and understanding will develop a stronger Union ready to face the daunting challenges ahead
