The document discusses challenges with rapidly integrating new sensors for military use. It describes how sensors currently have different data formats and standards, making integration difficult. It proposes developing common preprocessing and postprocessing functions, as well as an open architecture algorithm repository, to allow automated integration and fusion of data from various sensors. This would help overcome issues around scalability and real-time performance when exploiting sensor data for military operations.

The Elements of Offensive Cyber Warfare OperationsMikko Jakonen
This document defines a concept of operations for cyber warfare in targeting, accessing and running operations within allocated information space. Maneuvering offensive operations in such an information space requires a framework to handle operational tasks such as target recognition, payload delivery and execution. The joint requirements such as planning and tasking with other interoperable dimensions make
things very difficult without such a framework approach. In the worst case each of the elements is being
handled in un-coordinated manner, rendering effects of potential capabilities low and simultaneously
possessing a threat for manipulating organizations.
Based on the understanding shown, offensive cyber warfare operates quite differently compared to its
kinetic counterparts. It creates its own operational theory and models not directly aligned with others.
However, the need for tactical interoperability is obvious but quite controversial. Offensive capabilities in
the larger context up to a specific mission area for other domains and disciplines. This breaks the uniform
model.
Please note that this is excerpt from larger study related to maneuvering and tactics in cyber warfare. It
focuses only on elements that can be found in offensive capabilities

ISCF Subsea Autonomous Systems: Next Generation Technologies - Competition Br...KTN
The Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund’s Robotics and AI challenge, through Innovate UK, (as part of UK Research and Innovation), is collaborating with The Royal Navy, Oil & Gas Technology Centre, BP, and the Oil & Gas Authority. Together they will invest up to £6 million, from a cross government and industry joint fund, in collaborative business led projects.
Individuals can apply to join a 5-day collaborative workshop to develop proposals for autonomous subsea systems that can significantly improve mission duration, sensing and communications.
Participants are sought to develop collaborative projects in next generation autonomous subsea systems which improve levels of autonomy, sensor miniaturisation, mission planning, monitoring, communications, navigation, data management, and operations together with improved endurance in the water column up to 3000 metres deep.
The challenge is to develop Next Generation Subsea Autonomous System technologies which are modular in design with common interfaces and open architectures that make trusted unmanned operations the standard approach in areas such as off-shore energy, aquafarming, deep sea mineral exploration and maritime defensive security operations.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

11. Joint Warfare Directorate
The challenge
the distinction between war and peace and ‘home’ and ‘away’ are
increasingly blurred
a whole of government ‘cooperative approach’ to protect the UK and
her interests
12. Joint Warfare Directorate
The environment
explosion of - data, processing power and connectivity
rapid development of - range, precision, lethality, choice of effects,
stealth……
proliferation of - unmanned systems, autonomous systems and
robotics
exploitation of - military and commercial space
13. Joint Warfare Directorate
Deductions
we lie on the cusp of some major changes to how we employ the
military instrument strategically, operationally and tactically
the change required in some areas is so fundamental that it is both
difficult to conceive and disorientating
the increasing tempo of change requires greater agility
force multiplication requires the integration of the Security
Intelligence Agencies and other government departments, and
international partners
‘Innovation, adaptation and integration’
17. Joint Warfare Directorate
What factors resist successful adaptation?
alignment
motivation
• national
• organisational (budget)
• personal
structure and process
timeline
confidence/support
authority/risk
18. Joint Warfare Directorate
How could we support a culture of
adaptation?
Understanding
• threat
• opportunity
Influence
• being heard
• compelling argument
• delivering direction
Evidence
• operational analysis
19. Joint Warfare Directorate
Have we understood the need to adapt?
What is the forcing function?
• national objectives:
– people
– prosperity
– values
• total war
• an evolving threat
• military/strategic balance
Judgement/risk/insurance
• evidence
• compelling argument
• options
