Description

Investing in new technology is essential for the armed forces. The strategy increasingly focuses on flexibility in operations and logistics, intelligence, adaptivity and energy autonomy. As part of the adaptive armed forces, reservists and companies in these fields can play an important role in these developments on a contract basis.

This theme involves devising and testing smart solutions to issues such as:
How can we develop drones in such a way that they become part of the logistics system in addition to the possibilities for intelligence gathering and deployment against specific targets?
What are the application possibilities of intelligent sensors?
Which (dangerous ) tasks can robots take over, balancing the preservation of flexible command, rules of engagement and ethical dilemmas?
In operational action, besides reducing energy needs, how can we exploit other forms of renewable energy sources in such a way that they are suitable and cost-effective for static and mobile applications?
What will be the impact of new (composite) materials, of 3D printing technology, of nano technology and of laser applications?
And so there are countless questions and challenges for tomorrow's armed forces.
