STRIKE DRONES study day
Overview
The Strike Drone Study Day will be held in conjunction with the Future Indirect Fires Conference. The Study day will be run in a separate room with similar timings to the main Fires Stream to allow attendees to pick and choose which presentations to attend.
Loitering Munitions and One Way Effectors are a disruptive technology that has blurred the traditional lines of tube and rocket Indirect Fires. The proliferation of this technology presents many challenges and also as many opportunities. By locating the Strike Drones Study Day within the Future Indirect Fires Conference we are better able to address other linked contemporary Indirect Fires challenges.
The Strike Drones Study Day will examine best practise for integrating these systems into the indirect fires kill chain. With a speaker panel of International Military and Industry experts. Topics to be discussed include:
- Lessons from current conflicts
- Doctrine and Tactics for employment
- C4ISR Integration
- Cost vs Mass
- System Safety and Training challenges
- AI, autonomy and challenges
