10:15 – 10:20
Welcome to Day 2 of DSEI 2021
10:20 – 10:35
Test and Evaluation – The Value of Digital Thread in Defence. Julie Ashton – Campaign Manager, Test and Evaluation
We explore the trends in Test and Evaluation and look at how it’s changing, particularly with the impact of digital T&E. We share our vision for the future and how to harness the digital thread through-life.
10:35 – 10:50
The future of Test & Evaluation – integrating digital and agile flight testing. Nick Lay, Director of Engineering – Air
We are at the cusp of a generational shift where every element of Test & Evaluation could be done virtually. This presentation will focus on QinetiQ’s approach to Test & Evaluation and the digital journey the industry is on to ensure safe, assured and innovative flight capability. However, simulation modelling, digital and enhanced Test & Evaluation won’t remove the need for live flight test experience & experimentation. We address the importance of live flight testing, with emphasis on why live, agile flight testing for integrated systems is still an important part of the Test & Evaluation cycle.
10:50 – 11:05
Test and Evaluation: Maritime deployable ranges for agile Test and Evaluation. Steven Powell – Senior Campaign Manager
Fixed Test and Evaluation ranges have huge advantages for data gathering in benign conditions. However, these ranges are often in remote locations requiring long transits for platforms. With more forward deployment of assets, combined with developments in portable ranging capabilities, we demonstrate how it is now possible to bring the ranging to the customer and the benefits this delivers.
11:05 – 11:20
Test and Evaluation: Threat Representation . Jules Werner – Director of Business Development, Target Systems
The threat to navies of a swarm attack is becoming more frequent across the world. How can you stay ahead of the threat landscape as technology advances and the complexity of air, land and sea threats evolves? The answer lies in training and preparation and in this presentation we demonstrate how QinetiQ can help you.
11:20 – 11:35
Enabling Integration. Iain Harrison – Land Strategic Engagement Director
Find out how QinetiQ (and industry more widely) can help Land forces with information-centric capability integration to maximise their potential and operational effectiveness.
11:35 – 11:50
Land Modernisation – James Bamborough – Head of Chief Technology Office, Concepts & Services
Land forces are continously facing a complex and ever evolving threat landscape whilst operating an ageing fleet of land platforms. The need to modernise and extend the life of exisiting vehicles is therefore paramount. We explore the capabilities and solutions that can provide an operational advantage to the modern land force.
11:50 – 12:05
The future of Autonomous Systems & Robotics. Bill Biggs – Capability Leader – Autonomy
Autonomous systems and robotics deliver and enable advanced military capability and significant operational advantage across all domains, reducing risk, creating mass and offering increased tempo. Find out what is on the horizon for the future.
12:05 – 12:20
Hide and Seek – Sensing. Bill Dawber – Capability Leader – Sensing
Our armed forces today face intense competition between hiding and finding against agile, stealthy adversaries with peer level capabilities in an increasingly hostile and competed electromagnetic environment. We explore the demand in ISR, C4, enhanced sensing and communications capabilities to provide the warfighter with the right information required where and when it’s needed.
12:20 – 12:35
Stealth Materials. Mike Tagima – Senior Business Development Manager
Today’s operational environments are increasingly deadly for military vehicles with rapidly democratised technology and sophisticated state and non-state threats. Find out how Land forces can adopt cross-spectral camouflage and concealment solutions to remain as undetected as possible.
Thank you
