It may even reduce or mitigate the climate impact of military operations. \nOutline of Activities \nDefence Support released their Toward Self Sufficiency Concept Note in November 2023. It outlines a number of hypotheses for how a self-sufficient approach to military operations could deliver operational advantage\, and identifies areas for innovation\, research and experimentation.  Defence Support are now investigating how digital modelling can be used to consistently and repeatably contextualise how new technologies perform in simulated military environments. Understanding the benefits of a novel\, sustainable technology in the context of military operations will help assess the opportunities and inform early capability investment decisions. \nAt this event we will hear from academia\, Defence organisations and others about their prioritisation of low carbon and self-sustaining solutions along with the tools and information they use to inform and prioritise their investments. \nThe current thinking about the Toward Self Sufficiency model will then be shared and this will be followed by a workshop where your input will help inform the next stages of development. \nYour Input \nIn the afternoon workshops\, Defence Support invite you to challenge their modelling assumptions\, suggest how wider modelling practice could be utilised\, identify how benefits\, service levels and KPIs could be measured and promote how your innovative water\, waste\, energy\, material solutions could be modelled. \nOutcome \nThe workshop will assist the scoping and development of the Towards Self Sufficiency model development so that it will be more effective at assessing technologies that will lead to more self sufficient and sustained operations. \nWho Should attend \nProviders of deployable base infrastructure\, utilities and innovators in material\, food\, waste\, water\, energy and circular economics along with lifecycle modellers who can help understaffs what could\, should and must (& must not) be measured as part of a self-sufficiency modelling tool.  We also need to understand enablers that will enable support data capture\, connectivity\, processing\, and performance management. \nRegister to Attend \nThe event is free to attend.  There will be limited in person attendance with wider online participation. In person tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis and limited to one person per company.  \nDress \nSmart casual or uniform as applicable \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click here to register\n \n Agenda\n \n Towards Self Sufficiency - Concept Note URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/modelling-towards-self-sufficiency-a-sustainable-defence-support-working-group/ LOCATION:University of Southampton Future Town Innovation Hub\, Future Towns Innovation Hub (Building V)\, The Engineering Centre\, University of Southampton Science Park\, Southampton\, Southampton\, SO16 7PU\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Sustainable Defence Support,Sustainable Defence Support -Public END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240319T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240319T163000 DTSTAMP:20260417T042316 CREATED:20231130T133525Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240228T144819Z UID:245165-1710838800-1710865800@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:AdM as a Service Challenge Working Groups DESCRIPTION:The next Additive Manufacturing as a Service Challenge Face-to-Face Working Group Event will be held on Tuesday 19th March 2024 at the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) Knowledge Transfer Centre .

In the case of air countermeasures – specifically flares – the ability for them to provide a decoy is a well-established concept and has been in service in the RAF since the 1960s with the Vulcan bomber. Not only is it relevant for today as a countermeasure\, but it will also be relevant for the foreseeable future. Digital simulations and representations of flares systems have the potential to provide the MOD with an improved design\, test\, evaluation and through life support capability for its countermeasure assets. MOD have selected five topics for the Digital Twin Community of Practice to help them understand new approaches. \nProject Strands Statement of Requirements will be briefed by MOD on… \n\nStrand 1: Safety Trace\nStrand 2: Environmental Testing Review\nStrand 3: Consultation over Design of Experiments\nStrand 4a: Composition – Combustion Modelling\nStrand 4b: Dynamics Of Mixing\nStrand 5: Asset Tracking\n\nHow and When – The full briefing via ‘Teams’ by TDI and MOD Project Strand Task Leads is on Thursday 19th October\, 9:30 – 13:30. Please follow the link at the side of the page to register. \nWhy get involved? – Your contribution will enable you to understand the direction of travel from within Defence\, shape\, influence and assist towards MOD countermeasure development. There is also an event to work as part of a Team with equally capable and knowledgeable organisations within Defence and the wider digital community. This is also an opportunity for other industry experience and best practice to be showcased within the Defence environment. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register here URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/digital-twin-cop-flares-investigation-tasks/ CATEGORIES:FCG OIL-Public,RTI-Public,Synthetic Environment for Support-Public ORGANIZER;CN="Jack Thompson":MAILTO:jack.thompson@teamdefence.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231012T093000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231012T163000 DTSTAMP:20260417T042316 CREATED:20230712T140655Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231110T105253Z UID:243734-1697103000-1697128200@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:AdM as a Service Challenge Working Groups DESCRIPTION:The Additive Manufacturing as a Service Challenge Face-to-Face Working Group Meeting will be held on Thursday 12 October 2023 at the Defence Manufacturing Centre (DMC) in Silverstone\, Towcester. \nPlease do not delay registering as the number of spaces is limited to 100 attendees and the spaces will be offered on a first come\, first served basis.

This will help inform prioritised investment and development of policy for digital engineering and inspection. \nTask Governance\nTask Sponsor: Phil Tullit \nMOD Lead: Anne Beven \nIndustry lead: Steve Evans \nAgenda\n\n\nIntroductions\nPresent strawman structure\nOutline task schedule\nRFI\nCall for volunteers to support collation and reporting\nIssue\n\nCurrent inspection regimes are time consuming\, often use the mark 1 eye ball\, are subjective\, dependent on individual experience\, not repeatable and do not create enduring digital records. Where safety critical and inspection fidelity is important then items are taken out of service\, retuned to base locations and are not available to operators for extended periods of time \nHypothesis\nThere are a range of digital inspection technologies that can be used to create digital master data\, conduct inspections (non-destructive testing) and condition a platform in a more accurate\, faster\, repeatable and efficient way.  This will reduce cost and increase availability of equipment. \nSituation\nThere are already some digital inspection use cases in EST however different frequencies provide different insights and there are limitations on speed and portability from hand-held to fixed infra full system scans. Interoperability and integration across the support enterprise will improve if common solution\, standards\, and data formats are adopted across the network.  As Industry are already employing mature solutions\, Defence can increase its understanding of the marketplace to inform the EST programme. \nNext Steps\nTask team start up meeting \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/call-to-action-engineering-support-digital-inspection-rfi/ CATEGORIES:RTI-Public ORGANIZER;CN="Steve Green":MAILTO:steve.green@teamdefence.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220728T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220728T150000 DTSTAMP:20260417T042317 CREATED:20220715T125438Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220718T102214Z UID:241133-1659016800-1659020400@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:RAS API STRATEGY PAPER - CALL TO ACTION DESCRIPTION:Aim.  The aim of this meeting is to outline our intention to develop a paper around Robotic & Autonomous Systems (RAS) Application Interface (API) and call for volunteers from across MOD\, Industry and Academia to form a collaborative task team. \nContext. For many years Defence has looked to adopt open and modular systems architectures to enabling technology insertion\, accelerating capability development and managing cost through access to commercial solutions. Today’s capability is becoming more digital and digitised in nature and therefore as part of the architectural approach there is a need to understand the potential for Application Interfaces (API). As part of the Expeditionary Robotics Centre of Expertise and Multi Domain Integration Programmes FCG want to investigate the potential of open APIs in enabling agile development and interoperability across its range of currently independent robotic systems. \nRequirements. This task will consider wider sector API strategies\, industry leading practices\, observations and lessons from Robot Dog Olympic Hackathon event and current architectural approach to RAS capability in Defence to make recommendations and potential call for action in adopting an API framework across its RAS capabilities. \nFormat: This event is virtual and will take place using MS Teams.  A link will be sent to all those who register \nDONM.  Task start up 31 August 22 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/ras-api-strategy-paper-call-to-action/ CATEGORIES:FCG OIL-Public,RTI-Public ORGANIZER;CN="Steve Green":MAILTO:steve.green@teamdefence.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220629T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220629T160000 DTSTAMP:20260417T042317 CREATED:20220601T114826Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220707T124948Z UID:240768-1656496800-1656518400@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:High Value Manufacturing Centre of Expertise (CoE) DESCRIPTION:High Value Manufacturing (HVM) has the potential to transform DE&S acquisition and the provision of support.
