IT Technology in the Defense Sector – how to future-proof your skills?

The presentation will discuss current trends related to the development of digital technologies in the defense sector and the skills needed to capture emerging opportunities in the defense business. Digital technologies applicable in the defense sector which will be discussed during presentation will include the use of autonomous systems, supply chain management and logistics, and support for crisis management and civil defense systems.

An example of such future competencies includes the creation of complex behavioral models of logistical and battlefield systems using, among other things, semantic modeling, which allows for linking data with their meaning (metadata). This approach, applied universally to a wide range of data of various types, will enable the discovery of new connections between data from distant, seemingly unrelated areas. This approach will significantly enhance the quality of predictions in areas such as threat identification (including asymmetric threats) in military and civilian applications.
