"Artificial Intelligence: Indispensable for Future Planning and Execution of Military Operations"

17 - 18 October 2022

Prague, Czech Republic

Welcome to Prague!

“It is our goal to reconnect, renew and restart the fruitful relationship between NATO and EU and industry and academia after the long pause on face-to-face meetings and only virtual contact. For this purpose, our third event of the year will be the TechNet Europe in Prague. We are very much looking forward to providing a place for networking in a relaxed atmosphere and on neutral ground between military, government, academia and the industry that serves them, with expert conversations and hands-on experiences.” 

--MGEN. Erich Staudacher, GEAF (Ret.), General Manager, AFCEA Europe

 

ABOUT TECHNET EUROPE
 

The employment of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is definitely on the rise globally. The European Union will issue a comprehensive AI policy end of this summer. NATO decided on its AI strategy last October. The conduct of military operations in the future most likely will rely on a wide range of AI applications. Cyber defence needs AI support. As AI perhaps soon becomes a commodity in the preparation and execution of military operations, it will alter military structures, command and control procedures, C4ISR disciplines.

At the same time, AI builds on a number of other technological steps successfully implemented:

  •  Digitalisation in defense
  •  Data policy
  •  Cloud Services
  •  (Cyber-)secure connections

Let’s consider opportunities and dependencies comprehensively!

This will be a two-day conference and exhibition, and as per the annual tradition also held under the Patronage of the Host Nation’s Minister of Defence (requested). This event will feature high-level speakers from all over the EU and NATO, from transatlantic as well as from the host nation.
