LOGNET 18-1: MODERNISING DEFENCE LOGISTICS
"LOGNET is the Ministry of Defence’s logistics support enterprise engagement and future development event. We want to engage with the logistics and engineering industry, academia, international partners and allies to optimise military logistics and promote UK prosperity; not just by being open for business; but open for modernisation. LOGNET is designed to improve outside understanding of UK Defence logistic requirements; pursue knowledge of academic and commercial capability and new developments while reinforcing partnerships through continuing engagement.
Benefits of attending LOGNET:
• Understand Defence’s logistic requirements to propose superior solutions.
• Opportunity to influence Defence Logistic policy, direction and development.
• Engage with the future vision of Defence Logistics capability and industry integration.
• Opportunity to conduct business with Defence partners.
• Maintain the equitable relationship between Defence and the logistics and engineering enterprise.
• Opportunity for attendees to forward questions, points and comments directly via an interactive conference software app.
• LOGNET 18-1 is free to attend with lunch and refreshments included.
Background to LOGNET 18-1
Building on previous LOGNET events and following the National Security Capability Review (NSCR) the next LOGNET event seeks to compliment the activity ongoing within the Modernising Defence Programme (MDP). Defence Logistics sees the opportunity to use LOGNET to develop thinking and activity influencing outcomes and future work as the department develops its next iteration of strategic direction.
LOGNET is used to support Defence Logistics in arguing the case for the UK to maintain a credible, highly capable and value for money logistics capability. This capability enables and supports military forces while contributing to other government department effect. Within the themes of the Modernising Defence Programme LOGNET seeks to enable a stronger relationship with Industry and welcomes new ways of thinking and innovation. Previously the LOGNET group has provided views and ideas, we have listened to these and used them to inform our work within the various reviews and activity that has been taking place. Now we are seeking a renewed discussion aiming to foster greater information sharing and the opportunity for the relationship to be evolved.
Aim of LOGNET 18-1
The aim of LOGNET 18-1 is to update the network on the topics which are being investigated for development and to discuss in more detail some of the topics. It is then to enable the opportunity for industrial partners to consider the challenges faced, giving the opportunity for proposals to be brought back to Defence Logistics personnel within the linked 18-2 event.
