About this event
This iDeaS session will explore how the war in Ukraine is redefining modern warfare. Affordable drones saturate the battlefield, enabling persistent surveillance and precision strikes. Integrated fire-coordination networks compress decision cycles, while real-time data fusion provides commanders with unprecedented situational awareness. Agile, low-cost production of munitions and battlefield systems has shifted advantage to those able to innovate and adapt at tempo, with civil-military integration accelerating battlefield innovation.
NATO faces critical challenges: doctrinal inertia, interoperability gaps, and slow translation of operational lessons threaten to widen the capability gap against adversaries capable of generating combat mass. Without rapid doctrinal reform, procurement processes that prioritise adaptability, and industrial surge capacity to sustain high-tempo operations, the Alliance risks being outpaced.
This panel will examine how operational feedback from Ukraine must be translated into immediate change across force design, logistics, and alliance interoperability – recognising that the next contest will reward speed, modularity, and rapid scalability.
📢 You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with the speakers during a live 15-minute Q&A!
