10:15 – 10:20

Welcome to Day 3 of DSEI 2021

10:20 – 10:35

Optimising the trends in Training and Mission Rehearsal – How QinetiQ is leading the way. Dr Christina Balis – Global Campaign Director, Training Mission & Rehearsal

Christina explores the trends and innovation in training and mission rehearsal, demonstrates QinetiQ’s extensive capabilities in this area and explains how our unique approach to training delivers value for the customer.

10:35 – 10:50

Training and Mission Rehearsal. Why a professional White Force enhances team and collective training in every war fighting domain. Dan Simmons, Head of Collective Training and Services Operational Business Unit & Nick Barbone, Head of Maritime Division, Inzpire Ltd.

Team and collective training experts Dan and Nick will discuss the benefits of using a contracted White Force to assist with the collective training enterprise through the use of synthetic environments.

10:50 – 11:05

Advances in Operational Training Capability. Adam Whitby, Chief Engineer, Training and Mission Rehearsal.

We look at how QinetiQ’s secure infrastructure and services can Track, Control and Debrief complex training. We demonstrate how maximising use of range and danger areas can support Force Generation and Sustainment for multi-domain operations.

11:05 – 11:20

Information Advantage – Enabling CEMA Mission Assurance to ensure a competitive edge. PJ Wallace, Cyber & Electromagnetic Activity Lead

Maintaining operational performance in an increasingly contested electronic magnetic spectrum is a constant challenge. We explore an adaptable threat-based approach to assurance against the threat from Cyber and Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA).

11:20 – 11:35

Ethical AI and Autonomous Systems. Dr David Hutber – Capability Leader, Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a vital area for defence enabling more informed decision making. Discover the need for strong ethics in autonomous systems that include AI alongside the trust, assurance and acceptability of AI systems.

11:35 – 11:50

End to End Cyber Resilience. Mark Lavis-Jones, Director – Enterprise Cyber & Colin Annette, Director -Technology Solutions

With an increasingly complex Threat Surface and increasing threats from adversaries, there must now be a sharper focus on resilience across the electromagnetic spectrum. We discuss the steps that should be taken to gain advantage and maintain freedom of manoeuvre in this environment.

11:50 – 12:05

Multi-domain Integration. Robert Turnbull-Hall, Global Business Development lead, Maritime Information Advantage

What is Multi-Domain Integration and why is it needed? Robert presents QinetiQ’s perspective on how it might be realised. He will also discuss the potential implications for current and future UK military capabilities.

12:05 – 12:20

Directed Energy Systems. Richard Hoad – Capability Leader, Directed Energy and Resilience

Directed Energy Systems have the potential to transform military approaches. This talk will explore Directed Energy as an increasing threat to military systems as the battlefield evolves rapidly and the future of the capability.

12:20 – 12:35

Achieving Net Zero. Victoria Doherty – Senior Sales Manager, Power Sources

Sustainability is essential to next generation defence and the way to achieve this is through innovation. The UK MOD’s Net Zero 2050 goals are paving the way to a sustainable future. Find out how QinetiQ is committed to sustainability and how we are supporting the MOD achieve its goal.
