Computational modelling & optimisation of underwater naval platform corrosion related signatures

This webinar will introduce how corrosion related signatures arise, their importance and the systems that can be employed  to mitigate the threat they pose. It will then describe the detailed computational modelling of the platform in its environment, which is necessary to design systems that reduce the threat from of Corrosion Related Signatures. The webinar will conclude with a case study demonstrating the minimisation of Corrosion Related Signatures.

The future of defence in and from space

An analysis of the threats facing our nation today and tomorrow and how we can address these using space. Additionally she will look at the new security opportunities being created by new space and other developments above the Kármán line. Space is a warfighting domain and it is believed the first shot in the next global conflict may come from space. This talk will look at these issues and consider what we should be doing today to prepare for tomorrow.

Inclusive engineering: How do we solve this mission critical challenge?

The Aerospace and Defence industry has its unique challenges when it comes to inclusivity, equity and diversity. For example, women make up less than 10% of the engineering workforce in the Aerospace and Defence industry, compared with 15.7% of engineering as a whole. The challenge only gets bigger when we consider intersectionalities, and the public and societal perception of the Aerospace and Defence sector. In this webinar, we will discuss these challenges with those in the industry and hear their thoughts on how we can tackle these challenges in 2024 and beyond.
