The Whither Warfare Conference at the Land Warfare Centre in Warminster, U.K., June 16 will investigate how computer-aided visualization, and the interface between battlespace information systems and the minds of their users, can be improved to derive the full benefits of Network Enabled Capability (NEC).
The latest in the Whither Warfare series, organized by General Dynamics UK’s Research Foundation in partnership with the U.K. Army’s Command & Control Development Centre, will involve an open review of the user’s aspirations and their experiences so far. Industry will then be invited to present to senior U.K. military commanders what is potentially available to meet the challenges exposed.
Guest speakers will include:Brig Rob Weighil, commander Royal Artillery 1 (UK) Armoured Division; Karen Carr, U.K. Defence Academy; and Col. Crispian Beattie, Command & Control Development Centre.
The day’s discussions will be lead by Sir Keith O’Nions, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the Ministry of Defence, and retired Maj. Gen. Bill Robins, with sessions chaired by Christopher Elliot and General Dynamics UK’s Chief Scientist, Jim Ironside.
