Delivering Autonomous Systems at Pace and Scale

Sky Moore's talk will explore what is needed to develop and deliver autonomous systems at the pace and scale demanded by modern Defence. As the threat landscape constantly evolves, autonomy must evolve with it. However, adapting capability quickly is only part of the challenge. Defence also needs the industrial capability and capacity to produce systems in sufficient numbers and at the right time. Drawing on her experience as both a former government customer and a current industry partner, Sky will share her insights on balancing a dynamic threat environment with the need to deliver effective capabilities at the pace and scale required by Defence.
