SUMMARY:Event Invitation: Defence Innovation on Tap
DESCRIPTION:Explore human performance\, neuroscience and emerging technologies shaping future Defence\, from AI and robotics to resilience and innovation.\n\n\n\n\nDefence capability is changing rapidly. AI\, autonomy\, robotics\, quantum\, cyber\, space and advanced technologies are transforming how the defence industry operates — and fundamentally changing what we ask of people. The 2026 National Defence Strategy puts people and capability at the heart of Defence’s future\, while the new Defence Innovation\, Science and Technology Strategy highlights the role of research and innovation in delivering that future capability. So where does human performance fit? \nJoin us for an evening of ideas and connections as we explore one of the defining questions for future Defence capability: How do we enable people to perform at their best when the environment around them is changing faster than ever? \nWe’ll ask: \n\nHow do we optimise human performance in complex\, high-pressure environments?\nWhat happens to human decision-making\, resilience and performance as technology becomes more sophisticated?\nWhat new capabilities and skills will people need?\nWhere can research make a measurable difference?\nHow do we turn innovation into real-world Defence capability?\n\nFrom human performance and neuroscience to AI\, robotics\, autonomy and advanced technologies\, the conversation will explore the challenges — and opportunities — ahead.
