🦓 Turium Zebra was at ADSTAR 2024 At the Australian Defence Science, Technology and Research (ADSTAR) Summit this week by Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), Priya Rajgarhia our Chief Information Officer presented Turium Zebra, Australia’s Sovereign Large Language Model. The theme for ADSTAR was accelerating the delivery of asymmetric defence capabilities, focusing on areas such as trusted autonomy, quantum technology, information warfare, and hypersonics, among others. In the newly released 2024 Defence Innovation, Science, and Technology Strategy, Information Warfare is essential for Defence’s ability to deny, degrade, deter, and deceive adversaries across the full spectrum of operations. Turium Zebra integrates all data types (from textual communications to sonar, radar, cyber and network signals) to provide cohesive, actionable insights, allowing Defence personnel to communicate with the AI in natural language, ask questions, receive detailed reports, and collaborate in real-time decision-making. This is AI working alongside humans, ensuring faster, smarter, and more secure responses to emerging threats. In the words of Professor Tanya Monro AC: “Asymmetry must be part of our advantage, and we need the technology, equipment and expertise that delivers this advantage quickly. Working together, our scientists shoulder to shoulder with the ADF, industry, and academia, is how we’ll maintain a strategic advantage, and how we’ll become more resilient than ever before.” We align directly with this vision, discover more about Turium Zebra: https://turium.ai/defence #ADSTAR2024 #TuriumZebra #AustralianAI #XaanaAI #TuriumAI Dan Saldi

In advance of #DODIIS24, Michael Hoffman, President of GovCIO Media & Research, sat down with our Senior Director of Field Engineering, Stretch - Brian M, for an in-depth discussion on the evolving landscape of attack surface management in federal defense. Meyer shared how AI is advancing threat detection and the unique challenges agencies face in adopting zero trust while managing legacy systems.

We are at a transformational moment for our national and economic security. The US Government is lagging China in the adoption of emerging software and AI advancements. There’s growing appreciation of this gap within the government and Silicon Valley. And, growing urgency for solutions that lower the barriers for government use of commercial software without sacrificing security or free markets. During World War II, American industry figured out how to manufacture a heavy bomber every 63 minutes. That production ingenuity created an advantage on the battlefield by the end of the war. The next war could be decided more quickly by advancements in AI and autonomous systems. The time for industry to help the government close this gap is now. We have to develop scalable, secure software platforms that harmonize commercial cybersecurity practices and government security requirements to drive down the costs of building and delivering software to the government. https://lnkd.in/gnhECBRX

Oi, defence tech crowd! Jake's off to the SW Defence & Security Cluster do tomorrow, AI hat in hand. He'll be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Thales, MOD's AI boffins, and other grown-ups who know their digital onions. Jake's mission? Reminding folk that AI in defence should augment humans, not replace them. You know, so we can focus on important stuff - like why we're still using fax machines in government. 🤔 Give him a shout if you're about. He'll be the one not building Skynet. https://lu.ma/ormfce6h

🚀 DefenseTech's growing role in securing European sovereignty - Replay available! In a world shaped by complex security challenges from the war in Ukraine to tensions between the US and China Europe needs to rethink its defense strategy. At the recent France Digital Day 2024, we explored this very question in a dynamic roundtable on DefenseTech. 🛡️ Led by our Managing Director Andrea Vaugan, the panel included industry leaders such as: Renaud Allioux, co-founder of Safran.AI (ex Preligens), on the unique challenges startups face in scaling DefenseTech innovation. Eve Gani Director of Business Development at Sopra Steria, on the urgent need for European technological autonomy. Laurence Petit, Chief Innovation Officer at CEA, on the convergence of civil and defense technologies. Mikhail Kokorich, CEO of Destinus, on the development of Europe's own autonomous flight systems. Among the main points discussed were: 🔹 The changing landscape of modern warfare and the role of digital tools, AI and automation. 🔹 The shift from traditional defense companies to innovative technology startups. 🔹 The importance of reducing Europe's dependence on external players for defense capabilities. 🎥 Interested in the topic? Watch the replay via the link in comments and get valuable insights into how Europe can harness technology to strengthen its sovereignty and stay one step ahead in an ever-changing global defense landscape. #DefenseTech #EuropeanSovereignty #Innovation #FranceDigitalDay #AI #Cybersecurity

INDUSTRY NEWS: Last week the pentagon announced its technology funding focuses for the 2025 fiscal year. To no surprise, AI & autonomy, space, and integrated sensing cyber categories ranked in the top 3 for budget requests.

The symbiotic relationship of warfare and technological innovation is arguably one of the powerful driving forces in the history of geopolitics and economies 🌎 Each terrain that mankind has explored was simultaneously a breeding ground for developing new weapons systems optimized for the new environment. At the same time, these terrains did not remain siloed. Rather, the development of one changed the landscape - literally and figuratively - of the other. That in turn altered the nature of international relations and economic dynamism both regionally and on a nation-state basis. That also doesn't incorporate the development of financial conduits i.e. markets to facilitate and finance these changes. So, what are these terrains and the macro-dimensional shifts that followed? The first terrain of warfare was obviously land 🏔 - Stone tools, spears and bows, chariots, swords, shields, armor, catapults, and then eventually gunpowder and its iterations. The next is oceanic 🌊 - Galleys and oars with rams, sailing, naval artillery, warships, then submarines, iron clad battleships, aircraft carries, naval mines and torpedoes. The final frontier: space 🚀 - Rockets, satellites, anti-satellite weapons, space-based reconnaissance, ballistic missiles, navigation systems, orbital weapon platforms, Iron Dome Cyberspace 💻 - Encryption and Cryptography, hacking, firewalls and IDS, DDos attacks, APTs, malware, ransomeware, Stuxnet, social engineering We are in the last stage, where we are seeing the rapid development and deployment of AI systems and quantum computing. Relative to their potential, both of these hegemon-defining technologies are still in their adolescence, and have much to grow. However, their growth will not be linear but exponential. Consequently, dimensions of human relations (economic, political, financial, social) will fluctuate in proportion to the magnitude of these technological changes and simultaneously alter the terrains of human existence: land, oceanic, space, and digital.
