Supreme Allied Commander Transformation C UAxS Workshop conclusions Old Dominion University, Norfolk, 11 Dec 14 Major Jean-Claude Deskeuvre, BEL A CUAxS PM 5-Feb-15 1
Outline Reminder of the objectives Results & Summary COI approach Way Ahead 2
Objectives 1/2 Update the situational awareness about UAxS in four dimensions (Ground, Air, Sea and C3IS for the data link). The level of autonomy has to be considered. Develop a common understanding around the autonomous concept and the unmanned idea Identifying the threats associated with UAxS Considering the adequate counter-measures in all aspects of the threat To examine the ways for solutions taking into consideration already existing capabilities 3
Objectives 2/2 To examine the multi-dimensional character of the CUAxS problem, meaning to consider the existing operational approaches, the legal environment and the ethic perspective linked to the use of these capabilities To provide a list of recommendations for the way forward; whether that be through development of doctrine or specific capabilities in order to achieve an agile response to the crises and consequences of a mostly unpredictable and changing environment. 4

COI way ahead NATO Core team MCDC: Campaign of 2015-2016 Experimentation in support of the project Examine how, when and with whom Participation of Academia and Industry Collaboration with Nations and interested partners 7
Way ahead End of the workshop: summary January 15: document with main ideas and conclusions of the workshop Pending the evolution of the COI after the workshop, organize a next forum/workshop with specific identified aspects
Thank you for your participation and see you next time 9
