TD6 Benefits and Challenges \n2. Future Energy Trial Battlefield Energy \n3. MoD – Millbrook Energy Security & Nett Zero – Case for Nuclear H2 \n4. Battlefield Electrification \n  \nBackground: The modern soldier is increasingly more digitised and equipped with drones\, sensors\, electronic countermeasures\, robotics and comms\, with no indication that this trend will decrease. As the Expeditionary Robotics Centre of Expertise (ERCoE) continues to develop solutions they are starting to consider how these systems will be powered. Facing increase energy cost and limited access to precious metals powering the future battlefield is areal challenge. \nChallenge: Hybridisation\, electrification and battery storage all offer some advantages\, but they are not without trade-off for weight\, recharge times and operating duration. Maintaining operational advantage over our adversaries\, force elements need to be light\, agile and able to operate for prolonged periods of time without resupply; Carrying half your body weight in batteries is not an option. \nOpportunity: Driven by climate change and enabled by advances in technology other sectors are undertaking energy transitions and Defence must capitalising on this wider sector investment. \nPurpose: In the context of the Defence Operational Energy Strategy this event will look at dual purpose energy solution from across sectors identifying options with potential to address the energy challenges of the land domain. \nAgenda: With speakers invited from Industry\, Army\, Future Capability Group\, Defence Support Energy & Futures and Innovation the agenda is still under development and will be confirmed in the next few weeks. \nFormat: This is a physical in person event only with no option to dial in.  Where permission is granted presentation material will be made available post event. \nAttire: Dress is business casual or uniform\, as this is a working environment please wear flat sensible shoes\, no heels. \nRefreshments: Light lunch and refreshments will be provided \nCost: The event is free to attend. \nRegister to Attend: Tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis and if over subscribed may be limited to one person per company. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click here to register URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/battlefield-energy-and-electrification-options-workshop-an-fcg-open-innovation-laboratories-event/ LOCATION:UTAC Millbrook Proving Ground\, Station Lane\, Bedford\, Bedfordshire\, MK45 2JQ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:FCG OIL-Public,RTI-Public,Sustainable Defence Support -Public ORGANIZER;CN="Jack Thompson":MAILTO:jack.thompson@teamdefence.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230705T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230706T150000 DTSTAMP:20260408T105216 CREATED:20221105T080025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240808T144541Z UID:241955-1688544000-1688655600@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:Defence Information 23 DESCRIPTION:Delivery of the Defence Digital Strategy\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPROGRAMME V16\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Defence Information 23 Presentations – Members Only\n \n \n \n \n \n \nTitleDateLink URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/defence-information-23/ LOCATION:Active Conference Centre\, Thornbury Active Lifestyle Centre\,Alveston Hill\, Thornbury\, South Gloucestershire\, BS35 3JB\, United Kingdom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230706T133000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230706T160000 DTSTAMP:20260408T105216 CREATED:20230612T114952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230612T190531Z UID:243513-1688650200-1688659200@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:DI23 - AI Expert Group Workshop DESCRIPTION:AI Expert Group Workshop – Day 2\, 13:30 – 16:00 \nArtificial intelligence is occupying an increasing volume of our daily news copy and has become one of\, if not the most talked about topics today. We’ve just heard how an AI project’s ‘highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal’ may have simulated an attack on its operator\, once it appeared that the programmed mission was at-risk. We also learned last month that a major UK tech company was planning to employ AI to replace over 40% of its workforce by the end of the decade. \nNot many days pass between highly credible AI mavens propounding terrifying outcomes as a consequence of their lives’ work – and their regret at placing the planet in such jeopardy. Conversely\, the opportunity to improve\, speed up\, or simplify every digitizable job appears to be very attractive. But at what cost? \nThe recent DAIC Production Model and Assurance project garnered some of the UK’s leading AI professionals many of whom – under the working title of the AI Expert Group – will be present throughout DI’23. Sharing their experience and expertise at the conference – along with a snapshot of some of their impressive AI businesses portfolios – come along to meet and discuss your views with renowned experts. Disaster-in-waiting or unimaginable boon? And what should we all be doing about it? Find out at DI’23. \nFor further details\, please contact Tony Butler – tony.butler@teamdefence.info \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRegister here URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/di23-ai-expert-group-workshop/ LOCATION:Active Conference Centre\, Thornbury Active Lifestyle Centre\,Alveston Hill\, Thornbury\, South Gloucestershire\, BS35 3JB\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Learning ORGANIZER;CN="Jack Thompson":MAILTO:jack.thompson@teamdefence.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230720T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230720T123000 DTSTAMP:20260408T105216 CREATED:20230530T143620Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230531T093226Z UID:243421-1689847200-1689856200@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:Multi Domain Integration (MDI) Virtual Event - Making MDI Happen: Learning from our International Partners DESCRIPTION:​This virtual event will help explore other nations perspectives and success.

There will be some complicated issues to discuss and resolve that would not likely be possible without the collective mindset and experience from the members of TDI. This sub working group will be held on a regular basis and will be fundamental to the MOD transition from ILS to IPS by September 2024. However this will not be a talking shop for any perceived issues or wished technical amendments to the ASD S-Series\, its focus is solely on MOD adoption. Ryan Griffin (MOD IPS Transition Project Manager) and Mark Willis (CDS Defence & Security) will be the respective MOD and industry chairs. \nPlease contact Leyton Lark for further information. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRegister here URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/mod-ips-transition-working-group/ LOCATION:TD-Info\, 6A Pinkers Court\, Briarlands Office Park\, Bristol\, BS35 3QH\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:IPS CoP,JISCOT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230726T104500 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230726T130000 DTSTAMP:20260408T105216 CREATED:20220804T094340Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230411T203552Z UID:241277-1690368300-1690376400@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 is a virtual meeting to be held on Microsoft Teams\, a supporting slidepack and document suite will be made available prior to the session.
