Ahead of registration for the main FCG OIL AdM Hack this launch and networking event will provide an overview of the hack that will take place on the 3 & 4 April 23 and networking to allow for collaborative teams to form. \nFormat.  Following a presentation outlining the approach a speed dating format will be used so that all attendees can pitch to each other about their capabilities and exchange contact details.  After the event teams will be invited to register to take part in the Additive hack on 3 & 4 Feb 2023 \nContext. Recent operations in Ukraine have identified that the industrial manufacturing base of a nation is critical to success of future operations.  DE&S’ focus is moving away from large procurements to operations and is dependent on putting UK PLC on a campaign footing while the Defence Supply Chain Strategy is looking to create resilience through multiple points of near shore suppliers.  The concept of global logistic hubs provides the opportunity for production closer to point of consumption reducing the carbon footprint of distribution while inter regional supply in a star network configuration increase resilience. \nIntent. Exploit and demonstrate mature Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) High Value Manufacturing\, Digital Engineering\, and Additive Manufacturing Capabilities and how they can contribute to the realisation of Support Advantage. \nObjectives.  Using a diverse and dispersed team reverse engineer a part so that it has the same fit but has reduced weight and or part count. Demonstrate: \n\n            Image capture\n            File transfer\n            Collaborative design \n            File conversion CAD to SWL\n            Additive production\n            Part reduction and or light weighting of an item\n\nNote: the part will not be assessed functional or from a safety certification and is ther fore only a protype not for use. \nWho Should Attend.   \n\nIndustry Attendees.  The hack event will be limited to ten teams.  Only a limited number from each team will be in teh i-bridge. Others will operate at reach \nMOD Attendees.  A member of each organisation involved in the development of Additive will be invited ot join each indsutry team.  Other members of MOD will be invite to vitas the I-bridge to renege with teh teams and see additive and digital engineering technologies in action.\n\nTeam Composition \n\n1 MOD plus 2 in the i-bridge to select and scan on for more items\nReach back to Design engineers and Additive production capabilities\n\n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register to attend URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/additive-hack-launch-networking-event/ LOCATION:Babcock Technology Centre\, Bristol Business Park\, Stoke Gifford\, Bristol\, BS16 1EJ CATEGORIES:AdM WG ORGANIZER;CN="Steve Green":MAILTO:steve.green@teamdefence.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230223T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230223T150000 DTSTAMP:20260407T204923 CREATED:20221205T085508Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230221T154641Z UID:242223-1677146400-1677164400@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:The Supportability Modelling and Analysis CoP DESCRIPTION:This meeting has now been changed to a Virtual Only meeting due to lack of in-person attendance. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRegister\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nAgenda URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/the-supportability-modelling-and-analysis-cop-2/ CATEGORIES:Members Only,SMAWG END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230227T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230227T150000 DTSTAMP:20260407T204923 CREATED:20230109T073829Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230214T091451Z UID:242433-1677502800-1677510000@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:Industry Customers Engagement Forum (ICEF) DESCRIPTION:Industry Customer Engagement Forum – regular Industry Engagement meeting\, hosted by MOD\, to address issues affecting Industry-based consumers of MOD-provided services.  Use the links below to add this virtual meeting to your calendar. \nFor further information\, please contact Tony Butler \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRegister URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/industry-customers-engagement-forum-icef-8/ LOCATION:MOD Corsham\, Westwells Road\, Hawthorn\, SN13 9NR CATEGORIES:ICEF,Members Only END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230301T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230301T160000 DTSTAMP:20260407T204923 CREATED:20220804T094023Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230228T101820Z UID:241267-1677679200-1677686400@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:TD-Info Executive Team DESCRIPTION:The Team Defence Executive Team operate monthly sessions which will look to support and mature opportunities and guide the broad portfolio of Team Defence Activities so they align with the strategic direction and focus set by the Team Defence Strategy Group. \nThis meeting will be held in-person at MOD Abbey Wood and virtually using Microsoft Teams.
