Future Mortar Systems Conference

High Mobility, Enhanced Lethality: Maintaining Rapid Tactical Advantage Future Mortar Systems is the world's longest running conference devoted to the study of mortar technology, tactics, techniques and procedures. This year's event is all about empowering the dispersed combat unit for tomorrow's fight. As our enemies become more technologically proficient and able to degrade or deny us our freedom of manoeuvre, small, highly dispersed tactical forces will become a valuable means of projecting combat power and gaining that access to denied territory. This concept of future land warfare has significant implications for the development, acquisition and employment of mortar systems and the TTPs of small combat units, which will need to be empowered with capabilities that enhance their survivability, mobility and lethality in more hostile and ambiguous warfighting contexts. It is with this in mind that we are hosting this year's Future Mortars conference, which will address the investment needed to sustain, modernise or innovate tactical weapon systems to maintain tactical dominance. The 2018 Agenda in Brief: Lethality in Denied Environments: Improving targeting and engagement capabilities for the tactical force Range & Precision: Building the lethality and tactical dominance of the dismounted soldier Affordability and Programme Delivery: Lifecycle management of mortar systems and munitions Mortars in the Megacity: Indirect Fires in Future Terrains Irregular Ops: Amphibious Fires & Lightweight Mortars in Special Operations Gaps & Investment: Perspectives from R&D and industry on precision munitions, digitized fire control and advanced lethality systems

AIR MISSILE DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY

SMi is delighted to announce it's 3rd Annual Air Missile Defence Technology conference taking place in Prague on the 23rd and 24th October 2018. With today's militaries facing multiple, simultaneous and varied threats, operators have crucial requirements for flexible and adaptable systems that are able to counter the ever changing battlespace environment. In conjuncture with this, constrained budgets mean the importance of allied cooperation is more prevalent than ever and interoperability between systems and national partners is crucial for any future planning. This is evident with the spread of the Aegis Ashore missile network, NATO Integrated Missile Defence (NIAMD) system and, on a bi-lateral level, Project Apollo. This year's Air Missile Defence Technology conference will provide the perfect forum to assist the learning and development of Air Missile Defence OEMs, system integrators, niche component manufacturers, technical engineers, programme managers, and platform operators through briefing and panel discussions focusing on the latest national developments and technical innovations.

Accelerated Molecular Discovery (AMD) Proposers Day

AI chemistry program aims to accelerate creation of novel, high-performance molecules for defense needs OUTREACH@DARPA.MIL The efficient discovery and production of new molecules is essential for a range of military capabilities—from developing safe chemical warfare agent simulants and medicines to counter emerging threats, to coatings, dyes, and specialty fuels for advanced performance. Current approaches to develop molecules for specific applications, however, are intuition-driven, mired in slow iterative design and test cycles, and ultimately limited by the specific molecular expertise of the chemist who has to test each candidate molecule by hand. Today, DARPA announced the Accelerated Molecular Discovery (AMD) program, which aims to develop new, AI-based systematic approaches that increase the pace of discovery and optimization of high-performance molecules. A Proposers Day webinar describing the goals of the program is scheduled for Oct.18, 2018. Details are available here: https://go.usa.gov/xPk5j “The ultimate goal of AMD is to speed the time to design, validate, and optimize new molecules with defined properties from several years to a few months, or even several weeks,” said Anne Fischer, program manager in DARPA's Defense Sciences Office. “We aim to develop the AI tools, models and experimental systems to enable autonomous design of molecules to quickly meet DoD needs.” The program calls for teams of researchers to develop AI-based, closed-loop systems that automatically extract existing chemistry data from databases and text, perform autonomous experimental measurement and optimization, and use computational approaches to develop physics-based representations and predictive tools. AMD performers will develop tools, models, and experimental capabilities to rapidly design, validate, and optimize molecules. Government partners will evaluate performer developments and test their ability to identify new molecules with specific combinations of functional properties that may be relevant to specific DoD application requirements. “There are currently around 140 million known molecules, but the space of potential molecules is vastly larger than that, upwards of 1060,” Fischer said. “In DARPA's Make-It program, we've developed advanced ways to efficiently synthesize known molecules. AMD is taking the next step, where we will rapidly be able to explore the unknown molecular universe to design and produce completely new molecules with specific desired functions.” The AMD program seeks expertise in chemistry and chemical engineering, computer science, AI/machine learning, and mathematics. A Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation with full details is expected to be published soon on FedBizOpps here: http://go.usa.gov/3W53j https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2018-10-04 https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=ae1ad9ad522202ca7dcfd9a807fcb817&tab=core&_cview=0

Let's Start at Chapter One

A ONE-DAY WORKSHOP DISCUSSION ON THE PERSONNEL CHALLENGES FACING THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES IN MEETING THE EXPECTATIONS OF “STRONG, SECURE, ENGAGED” The 2017 Defence Policy “Strong, Secure, Engaged” made a strong statement on the central and critical role that Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel in delivering defence for Canada and Canadians. Starting at Chapter One, the Canadian Government laid out a series of ambitious goals on engagement with the Canadian public, the recruiting of Canadians from all walks of life into the the growing number of skill areas required for military operations of the future and then ensuring that individuals had greater choice and flexibility in how they pursued their military careers. From building a military team that is inclusive of the diversity to be found in the Canadian population, to full and part time employment through to better health and family support during and after military service, the objectives laid out in Chapter One of “Strong, Secure, Engaged” are among the most challenging of the entire 111 initiatives contained in the policy. The central role for personnel issues also hightlights that the “people” challenges represent the largest investment of Defence spending. Ensuring the CAF secures and retains the right numbers and skillsets of recruits and trained service personnel for the ever-widening range of tasks that will be required for operational success and meeting the philosophy of “People First, Mission Always”. “Lets Start at Chapter One” provides for not only a discussion of some of the challenges that the CAF, and others, must overcome to build a modern and high-performing team for the future, but also some of the innovative and effective strategies that are being used in Canada to do just that. During the day, participants will be able to hear from leading defence and security leaders as well as experienced HR practitioners plus as contribute their own experiences during workshops on several key questions that are at the top of the list for the CAF to address.
