    Directed Energy Systems Conference

    The Directed Energy Systems (DES) conference is the world's premier international forum for all elements of the DES community, including senior serving officers, technical experts and industry leaders. The theme for DES 2018 is "Transitioning to The Warfighter". While technical and scientific elements will be covered the focus will be on the future of militarily useful DE and the next steps required for these systems to earn their way onto platforms and into operations. We are undoubtedly at a time where Directed Energy Systems are moving on to platforms across the tri-service. Technological progress is helping to meet SWaP-C challenges and the spectrum of threats-faced now includes UAVs and smaller targets which require, and provide operational rationale, for lower powered systems. At the same time missile defence requires the future operationalisation of high-powered systems. The race is on to field systems now, get this technology into the hands of the Warfighter, gain feedback on how the systems can be used and take an iterative approach to refine and design future systems. This information, and the capability gaps identified, can then be used by research institutions to secure targeted funding for programs which promise to close the capability gaps identified by the warfighter. DES 2018 will contribute to the dialogue and expose capability planners, future operators and researchers to case-studies, developments in other nations, and help militaries share TTPS and Operational Concepts for this new capability. No more promises, DE is moving into operations! Key themes this year will include: Transitioning to the warfighter: earning a place onto platforms and into operations. What role do armed services see for directed energy, what technologies need to be refined, and what is the roadmap for adoption? Defining and sharing concepts of operations and TTPs behind the use of Directed Energy Systems. What are the SWaP-C considerations and how can the value proposition of these systems be communicated to strategic leaders? Understanding the threats faced and which problem sets most readily can be addressed by DES and which problem sets require more R&D in order to develop effective DES solutions? Learning from case-studies to address training challenges for High-Powered lasers and understanding safety and deconfliction considerations to deploy laser systems on the battlefield How Microwaves continue to have application as non-lethal weapon systems, but also as effective UAS-killers - how and why they may become the energy system of choice versus the laser Join us in London at the end of October to take part in this well-known international event. You will have the opportunity to gain both strategic and technical insight from military leaders, research scientists and industry experts, including roadmaps, goals, and the art of the possible. This will allow you to define future operational concepts, understand militarily useful applications of the latest technologies and help deliver the latest technology to the warfighter.

    US Export Controls with REFORM CHANGES Seminar

    This seminar series provides both novice and experienced export compliance professionals with a comprehensive education on complying with regulations administered by the US departments of State, Commerce, and Treasury, and what the recent ECR changes and potential coming changes from a new administration mean for their compliance programs. Export Control Reform (ECR) changes have relaxed the controls on most defense-related items and technology, but made understanding and complying with the regulations even more complicated. The shift of most military and space items from the ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) to the EAR (Export Administration Regulations) forces exporters to learn the highly complicated ins and outs of the EAR. The good news is that the complex rules impose significantly less compliance burdens and fewer compliance-based export delays. So if you learn these rules, you will be able to export sooner and reduce the costs of compliance, giving you a competitive advantage. TWO BACK-TO-BACK SEMINARS: ITAR Defense Trade Controls - 2-DAY SEMINAR - October 29 - 30, 2018 Introduction to Export Controls - ITAR, DDTC & More Munitions Export Controls & Determining Jurisdiction ''Specially Designed'' and the Order of Review Controlled Items and Activities License Requirements & Application Workshop New Brokering Rules & Political Contributions Technical Data Considerations License, Agreement & Exemption Management Internal Control Programs Items Shifted from USML to CCL Export Control Reform: Adjusting & Updating Practice EAR & OFAC Commercial & Military Export Controls - 2-DAY SEMINAR - October 31 - November 1, 2018 Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Jurisdiction & Classification: The Order of Review Shipping & Licenses China Military Catch-All Rule Reexports Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations (OFAC) Technical Data & Software Encryption Controls Export Control Reform: Adjusting & Updating Practices Export Enforcement Issues & Effective Export Compliance Sanctions Changes & Evolving Controls on Russia

    Building Security and Defence in the Canadian Economy | Small Wars, Big Data

    The Discussions / Les Sujets Building Security and Defence in the Canadian Economy: The role played by Canadian companies, both domestically and internationally, in building security and defence for Canada is little discussed and poorly understood. Join our panelists for an informed discussion on how leveraging Canadian expertise in a variety of sectors to provide world class security and defence capabilities not only contributes to a safer world for Canadians, but also expands the Canadian economy. Small Wars, Big Data: The way wars are fought has changed starkly over the past sixty years. International military campaigns used to play out between large armies at central fronts. Today's conflicts find major powers facing rebel insurgencies that deploy elusive methods, from improvised explosives to terrorist attacks. Small Wars, Big Data presents a transformative understanding of these contemporary confrontations and how they should be fought. The authors show that a revolution in the study of conflict - enabled by vast data, rich qualitative evidence, and modern methods - yields new insights into terrorism, civil wars, and foreign interventions. Modern warfare is not about struggles over territory but over people; civilians - and the information they might choose to provide - can turn the tide at critical junctures.

    DEFENDING DEMOCRACY: CONFRONTING CYBER-THREATS AT HOME AND ABROAD

    In recent years, the cybersecurity of elections and democracy has emerged as a key issue both at home and abroad. Recent examples make the urgency of this issue clear: the 2017 Presidential elections in Kenya were declared invalid amidst allegations of problems with the electoral commission's databases and computers; Estonia's widely respected identity card system, which is used for i-voting in elections and access to government services, was found to be susceptible to identity theft in 2016; and perhaps the most discussed current cybersecurity issue revolves around Russian interference in the 2016 American presidential election. While Canada's democratic institutions may appear to be relatively immune to cybersecurity issues, with elections that feature paper ballots counted by hand and resulted phoned in to returning offices, Canada's Communications Security Establishment (2017) recently outlined a number of the major perceived threats to Canadian elections, including data privacy and media manipulation. In response to these challenges, the issue of cybersecurity and democratic institutions was featured as a priority in the 2018 Canadian budget (Brewster, 2018). Drawing on these important threats to Canadian security, this workshop seeks to address three main questions related to cybersecurity and the defence of democracies in Canada and abroad: 1) What are the major security threats posed by new and emerging technologies to Canada's democratic institutions, including to government, political parties, election administrators, and the media? How can Canada preserve electoral integrity in the face of foreign interference facilitated by technology, including social media? 2) What solutions to these threats have been tested? What have been the results for safeguarding elections against attacks and preserving voter privacy, political trust, and overall democratic legitimacy? 3) What is the appropriate role for Canada's defence community in combating these threats at home? When is intervention necessary, and at what level? This workshop and the related outputs will address how the cybersecurity of elections and democracy may be achieved. It is relevant to academic, policy and industry, especially in the lead-up to the 2019 Canadian federal election. Registration: $20 which covers lunch. Questions?
