Join us for an event about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in defense. We will discuss the role of AI in training and simulations, where it enables the creation of realistic and adaptive learning environments and operational scenarios, which significantly improves the readiness of forces for diverse and complex situations. A more detailed presentation about the use of AI avatars for training direct communication in hostile situations is the keynote topic. The challenges of autonomous systems and awareness of their surroundings and spatial orientation are solved with AI by connecting to multitude of sensors and sensor data fusion in real time. This significantly improves situational awareness, with multi-domain data integration and use of advanced methods for detecting, recognizing and tracking objects while properly deciding in critical situations. You will connect with experts from industry, research and defense sectors and gain insight into future of AI in defense.

The panel on cybersecurity will cover a range of critical topics. Key discussions will include the role of cybersecurity in modern defence strategies, with insights from a EU official, and the opportunities for dual use in cybersecurity, focusing on how commercial sector achievements can be applied to defence, highlighted by the BRICO project. The current cyber threat landscape will be examined, addressing state-sponsored attacks and cyber espionage.

The Captech Cyber session will introduce the REMUDO project, a platform designed for situation awareness. Collaborative cyber defence initiatives, such as the Pesco CRRT project, will be discussed, emphasizing the development of a common cyber capability for responding to incidents and crises. Additionally, the challenges of cybersecurity in critical infrastructure during the quantum computing era will be addressed.
