In today’s dynamic training environment, adaptability is paramount. We need to rethink how Defence procures, integrates and evolves training capability aligned to the demands of the evolving battlespace.   Team PALADIN Capture Director Christina Balis explores the institutional and cultural considerations that underpin successful defence training transformation, emphasising the importance of training for adaptability, decision-making and the future Whole Force to enable fighting power.   Read more here: https://ow.ly/pBFB50SCZmh   #PALADIN #Collectivetraining #Collectivelybetter #Defencetraining

Meet Darcy. A volunteer firefighter who, thanks to a flexible work-life balance, can be there for his local community when they need him the most. Combining his paid work and volunteering skills for mutual benefit, Darcy brings his leadership and safety experience from the fire station back into his role at QinetiQ Australia as a dedicated Workshop Manager, ensuring a robust and resilient safe workplace culture. We are a richer company, not just a safer one, because of Darcy. Check out the video below to see how Darcy educates and inspires both his fellow volunteers and his colleagues.

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the 2024 European International Submarine Races at our Haslar site's Ocean Basin, alongside the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST). The races form part of the Institute’s work to promote the importance of the marine sector and to support the development of young people in the STEM industry. This unique sporting challenge involved 11 teams of university students from around the world using their design and technical skills to invent, build, and race human-powered submarines against the clock on an underwater slalom course. Students from the École de Technologie Supérieure in Montreal, Quebec, were crowned this year's champions, recording the competition’s fastest speed of 5.29kts! 🏆 #subracing #eisr2024 #submarineracing #subraces #submarine

“We can’t rely on the external talent market to deliver sufficient numbers of ‘lateral hires’, so we’re building our own skilled workforce” Hear from Cathy Riach (Diener) on how we are investing in the development of Australian Test & Evaluation professionals through our T&E Sovereign Skills Program:

This week, we welcomed our Global CEO, Steve Wadey to Australia. His visit was marked by insightful discussions and meaningful engagements that underscored QinetiQ's integral role in supporting the Royal Navy's Test and Evaluation processes, particularly for nuclear-powered submarines. Joined by our Chief Executive, Gary Stewart, Steve engaged in high-level meetings with officials from the Australian Government and the Department of Defence. These discussions highlighted QinetiQ's experience in Australia delivering Test and Evaluation for more than 15 years ensuring operational excellence and safety for Defence Australia. Steve also took the opportunity to connect with our talented teams in Canberra and Adelaide, witnessing firsthand the dedication and expertise of our people. Thank you to everyone who made this visit a success. #WeAreQinetiQ #TECSA

A double day of QinetiQ site visits. Yesterday I started the day at Portsdown Technology Park where QinetiQ hosted our monthly Maritime UK Solent network meeting. The subject this time was exploring the ways that space and satellite technologies can be adopted by maritime and the funding that exists to support that. Huge thanks to all our speakers. Space South Central Louise Butt and Tobias Marchant European Space Agency - ESA Business Applications Grant Day and Sean McCarthy Satellite Applications Catapult. Then in the afternoon I had been invited to see the incredible 'international grand slalom of human-powered submarine racing' that QinetiQ organise (and have been doing every other year since 2012) with the support of Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST) in action in the #Oceanbasin at #Haslarmarinetechnologypark. Great to meet some of the teams. Thank you Katharine M. for the invitation and lovely to see you again Gwynne Lewis Neve Parker Andy Dinsdale and Emily Hewitt. https://subrace.eu/ (picture from their website)
