Trusted computing for national defense NASHUA, N.H. - We live in an era where the front lines of national defense extend far beyond geographical borders. A technological battleground exists in the invisible realms of cyberspace. Perhaps nothing -- save our warfighters -- is more vital to military success than keeping classified information out of rivals' hands. This information can be as varied as actionable intelligence like military movements, or it could be the secrets of game-changing technology that adversaries hope to reverse engineer. https://lnkd.in/eGRVP-VC

Exciting news to share with my LinkedIn community! I recently obtained the ADL 105 [A0751] Cyberspace Domain Foundations certification from NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency). The course covered NATO's military vision for cyberspace as a domain of operations, which includes supporting and strengthening the organization's broader deterrence and defense posture. The importance of the COP & Cyberspace Situational Awareness was also emphasized, as well as the challenges of achieving Situational Awareness in the domain of cyberspace. Finally, the course covered the intent of CIS Infrastructure Operations. Looking forward to applying my new knowledge in the field!

🔔 A new edition of #CSSAnalyses in Security Policy is out now! 🔔 In this analysis, CSS Researcher Sarah S. Wiedemar delves into the militarization of space. "The exploitation of space today is increasingly driven by the innovations of private actors. Confronted with Russia’s military aggression, Ukraine showed how nations with little or no space capabilities can leverage commercial space infrastructure for combat. The massive reliance on commercial actors to provide vital support for Ukraine’s military operations suggests a new round of the militarization of space, one that private actors increasingly dominate."

Weekend reading: What, Why and When? A Review of the Key Issues in the Development and Deployment of Military Human‑Machine Teams Latest publication with Federico Mantellassi and Quentin Ladetto jointly published by the Geneva Centre for Security Policy and Federal Office for Defence Procurement armasuisse This paper serves as a springboard for understanding to what extent Human Machine Teaming (#HMT) is a realistic, useful and operationalisable framework to conceptualise future human-machine interactions in the #military domain. It is structured in three parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the literature and discussions surrounding the issue, both in academic and #defence settings. Part 2 analyses how the specificities of the military domain complicate, alter and possibly aggravate many of the already existing unresolved issues surrounding the desire to team humans with machines. Lastly, Part 3 delves into some recommendations. You can access it here: https://lnkd.in/eWdsiVad.

Utilizing the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, our simulations provide a comprehensive view of the war zone, equipping soldiers with a holistic understanding of their tactical environment and the strategies unfolding in it. Our solutions strengthen military forces as they plan and counter possible threats by precisely reflecting actual-world circumstances and envisioning future risk scenarios. This fosters enhanced understanding of the situation, boosting preparedness to handle the complexities and dynamics of real-life battle situations.
