The panel, comprised of strategic acquisition, doctrinal and operational leaders, will offer our audience collective insight into the drivers of change for armoured manoeuvre and new applied concepts for how we fight and win in the 21st century. In an era characterised by significant technological disruption, our panelists will consider how capabilities such as automation and artificial intelligence will reshape the way that the armoured community writes requirements, trials, tests and deploys its platforms in the future, as well as the challenges that a new generation of vehicles presents for the operational commander. What are the likely obstacles for aligning the next generation of combat vehicle technology, with emerging doctrine, such as multi-domain operations and systems fusion? What are the key considerations for mitigating the cyber vulnerabilities of fighting vehicles in a digitised battlespace? Outlining the considerations for automation & AI, deception, novel barriers and persistent surveillance for armoured manoeuvre warfare in the future battlespace Acquisition and the Military-Industrial Relationship: how must military acquisition culture and processes adapt to be more effective in the 21st century? What can enable closer collaboration between military and industry, particularly with non-traditional defence entities?

How must culture and process within industry adapt to be be more effective in the 21st century? What can enable closer collaboration between military and industry and how can we better leverage innovation from non-traditional defence entities? Local content requirements are common in manty nations. What case-studies demonstrate where this can be done to everyone’s advantage and where can local content make the biggest impact? What are the technological breakthroughs and performance requirements that vehicle users are now looking for/or should be looking for?

“What I always take away is that there are a lot of things out there that I didn’t know. So I go away more aware and knowledgeable. It also brings me to the conclusion that we senior officers need to be in closer contact with each other… We can learn from each other and stay ahead of the developments of a possible opponent.” Major General Engelbrektson, Swedish Army, Speaker 2017, 2018, 2019
