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:20220922T113000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220922T150000 DTSTAMP:20260407T192900 CREATED:20220912T082038Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220921T203633Z UID:241554-1663846200-1663858800@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:Information Security Forum DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the Information Security Forum (ISF) is to provide better ways of working securely across Team Defence by identifying key issues and agreeing on common approaches to resolution by sharing good practice\, collaborating on accreditation standards\, providing a practical (and compliant) interpretation of Government policy\, and sharing event and near-miss data. \nThe ISF collaboratively develops guidance\, influences policy and communicates key messages to members and\, where appropriate\, broader stakeholders on Information Security and Assurance matters. \nThis meeting will be held virtually using Microsoft Teams.  Group members will be sent the link to join the meeting. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDraft Agenda URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/information-security-forum-2/ CATEGORIES:ISF,Members Only END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220926T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220927T170000 DTSTAMP:20260407T192900 CREATED:20220706T113809Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220831T091241Z UID:241008-1664179200-1664298000@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:Operational Infrastructure and the drive for Self-Sustainment DESCRIPTION:Venue: Royal Engineers Museum\, Chatham \nThe Event: \nThe Institution of Royal Engineers and Team Defence Information are pleased to announce the “Operational Infrastructure and the Drive for Self-sustainment” conference on 26th/27th September at the Royal Engineers Museum\, Chatham which is the Present and Historic home of military engineering. \nThe Challenge: \nThe conference seeks to analyse and address solutions to adapt and mitigate operational infrastructure impacts in deployed environments\, focused on creating a low carbon\, self-sustained Defence capability\, providing operational freedoms and prolonged endurance enabled by sustainable design principles. \nThe Vision: \n“To be a deployable force that can operate in extreme climate change environments\, while showing sustainable leadership and best practise on a global stage.”\nSolution Focus: \nThe conference will review alternative energy sources and distribution\, innovative materials and disruptive technologies/approaches focused on providing protection\, sanitation\, improve health and mental wellbeing\, facilitate both technical and domestic accommodation while embodying Defence social values to support and protect its most important asset\, its people. \nWho should attend: \nThis event aims to bring innovators\, designers\, technologists\, academics\, and environmentalists from across all sectors together with Defence personnel to explore solutions that can be applied today and drive the required change across Defence\, particularly if you have a focus on humanitarian\, theatre enabling or reconstruction. \nWhy attend: \nThe event seeks to identify how to turn concepts into capability\, pulling through and integrating processes\, practises\, and technology from across sectors to inform policy and procurement action; alongside enabling networking and professional discussion with key military personnel. \nFormat and registration: \nThe event will take place over the 26-27 Sept at the RE Museum Chatham\, with an optional  light buffet and drinks for networking on the evening of the 26 Sept 22.
