[AISWorld] Free lecture: National security and the digital transformation of defence - 8 March 2016 Loughborough University

[Crispin Coombs]

UK national security and the digital transformation of defence operations in the 21st century

Neil Stansfield, Technical Strategy Lead, Knowledge, Innovation, and Futures Enterprise, Defence Science and Technology Laboratory
Tuesday 8th March 2016 - 5.45pm

Centre for Information Management, Loughborough University, UK

Moving from a world in which we control the generation of the information we use, and can therefore trust, to a world dominated by the ubiquity of unvalidated information will challenge every aspect of the way in which the UK Defence and National Security enterprise functions. Mastery of the information environment is today’s arms race. In this talk, Neil will explain the implications of these technological changes and how they impact on the behavioural operation of UK defence and security, from planning to operations.

Neil Stansfield is Head of the Knowledge, Innovations and Futures Enterprise at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory. He leads the MOD's programme for identifying and harnessing emerging and disruptive technologies. Neil previously spent 25 years in a range of senior defence and security policy, strategy, and science and technology roles, working across government and the private sector, nationally and internationally.
