Thematic scope

New dimensions of a contemporary conflict: cyberspace, Earth's orbit, unmanned and autonomous systems. Drones and anti-drone systems, satellite observation, and the digital battlefield are critical deterrents. The role of qualified staff, digital competencies and international cooperation. The experience of the war in Ukraine and its use in the future. Plans for joint European action – the drone wall, drone-defence efforts of the Baltic states. Can Poland, as a country in the war’s rear, build its own defence-innovation ecosystem?
