Mike Greenley, President L3 WESCAM and Vice Chair of the Advanced Manufacturing Strategy Table, has been tasked to consult Canadian defence firms on a series of thematic questions relevant to the Table's mandate: What would it take to persuade foreign defence firms to locate world product mandates in Canada? What challenges do Canadian defence companies have in making investments in technology and advanced manufacturing to improve their businesses? What challenges do Canadian defence companies face in scaling up? The Advanced Manufacturing Strategy Table is one of six (6) business-led economic strategy tables, created in Budget 2017 as part of the Government's Innovation Agenda, that aim to establish an ongoing dialogue between government and industry and develop recommendations focused on leveraging Canada's existing economic strengths into global advantages. To support these activities, CADSI is working with Mr. Greenley in his role as Vice Chair of the Advanced Manufacturing Strategy Table to let CADSI's members know about the work of the Table, its importance, and how they can contribute their ideas to the Table's engagement process.

Maritime Information Warfare 2017 Conference

We are proud to host the inaugural Maritime Information Warfare conference, which will convene at the Copthorne Tara Hotel in London on the 6th and 7th December 2017. As data and information drive operational advantage there is now a need for improved leadership and ownership across maritime information exploitation. The need for collection, dissemination and optimisation of maritime data is driving change and improvement across an array of naval systems. Used across the joint environment, this will allow increased decision making in real time and the growth of machine learnt influence over naval platforms and systems. Moving away from platform centric decisions and towards intuitive systems run by complex algorithms, the future of the blue economy and security at sea means evolving is no longer a choice, but a necessity for navies and maritime agencies globally. With the Royal Navy recently hosting 'information warrior,' demonstrations are now taking place that show not only senior buy in, hence the support of the First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Philip Jones, but the desire from industry to demonstrate Artificial Intelligence, machine autonomy, enhanced Cyber security and big data optimisation across the maritime domain. This corresponds with major policy objectives within the United States, such as 'Cyber Power 2020' which seeks diversify naval capability in the cyber domain. The Maritime Information Warfare 2017 conference will focus on the key aspects challenging and enhancing Naval and Maritime agencies in the exploitation of information in the digital age. Benefits of Attending Hear the very latest advances from Navies, Coast Guards and Maritime Agencies relating to: Information Exploitation Artificial Intelligence Autonomous Systems Cyber Security ISR Big Data C4I Open Source Intelligence Gathering Plus a Half-Day Pre-Conference Workshop | 5th December 2017 Cyber Security in the Naval Domain Hosted by Colonel (Retd.)
