UK and Finland Unite in Wargaming In an era where the battlefield is as much digital as it is physical, the UK's Defence Experimentation and Wargaming Hub has taken a significant step forward. Recently, it played host to a team from the Hybrid Centre of Excellence (HCoE) in Finland, marking a pivotal moment in defence collaboration and strategic innovation. #cyberattacks #defencecollaboration #DefenceExperimentationandWargamingHub #evidencebaseddecisions #Globalsecurity #HybridCentreofExcellence #hybridthreats #Internationalcooperation #strategicinnovation #tacticalresponses

Everyone has a *strong* opinion on how to best spend money on our defence. Well, you can now wargame that dilemma in my newest educational micro-game called "Re-arm Europe!". In this game, you are tasked with spending additional money on the defence of your country. How hard can it be? Re-arm Europe! can be played in 10 minutes, using only a pen and a single die. This can be played in solitary mode, though you get the best value by playing in groups, of whatever size. Show me in the comments what choices you made for your country 👀 This wargame was developed for a larger series of micro-games about Europe, led by Sebastian Bae. This is still a BETA version, and every feedback is welcomed! Now, download, print and play!

Is Skull and Bones only naval combat? From the very beginning, Ubisoft has marketed the game as a pirate experience similar to that of Sea of Thieves. There is a vast ocean to explore with many sights to be seen. Perhaps while you are sailing, you will attempt to board an enemy combatant’s ship and sail off with it. After all, that is what a true pirate would do. Many playing the game have noticed a theme of ship-to-ship combat. Of course, this has led many to question what the full game’s combat system is like and what they can expect going forward. So is Skull and Bones only naval combat or can you head ashore and swing a sword? Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gxKmmCca #gaming #gamingindustry #gamingcommunity

Command and Control On The Move: What it is and why it is so important to the modern battlefield. Hear LCol (retd) Peter Kelly explain the breakdown of this challenge and how we are preparing real-time solutions with Soldier Mod TV at #DSEI2023. “In the modern battle space, we understand the network is going to be a challenge with all the EW assets that are out there, and it is not a connected 24/7 environment anymore. Our philosophy is the network will fail, so we are building in survivability and redundancy for data at the dismounted soldier level.” #C2OTM #CommandandControl #Digitization #DismountedSoldier

Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) is deployed in 160 countries, serving 91.3% of the world's population. DTT transmission is just one of the signals that the MAVERICK passive radar can exploit to detect and track land, maritime and air targets.    Silentium Defence will be exhibiting at DSEI 2023 with our MAVERICK M8 soldier portable passive radar. Simon Palumbo and I will be there to explain how you can break beyond the limitations of a narrow field of view scanning active radar system and see threats persistently, anywhere in the world where you can watch digital TV. And the best part of it all, the threats will never know that you are watching them.

Gaming for combat: The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center held a series of tournaments designed to help the Department of the Air Force develop combat tactics by analyzing players’ decision-making processes in realistic battlefield scenarios. During the tournaments, teams of five had to defend deployed locations from attack while continuing to generate fighter aircraft missions in various scenarios. They had to make critical decisions, such as whether to prioritize readying aircraft for launch or defending the air base. Providing challenges on multiple fronts, the game required a mix of first-person shooter, strategy and puzzle-solving skills for teams to be successful. #USAF #GAMING #gamers #defense #combat

⚔ Decoding Theatre Commands: Navigating the Information Maze ⚔ As I was recently involved in a conversation concerning theatre commands, it occurred to me how misinformation has infiltrated our country's population. Understanding the complexities of important concepts like theatre commands and operational structure of the Indian Armed Forces becomes critical in an age flooded with data and opinions. ✅ A "theatre command" is a unified military command organisation that brings together forces from several services (including the army, navy, and air force, as well as other components such as cyber and space) to operate in a single geographic area or theatre of operations. ✅ By streamlining decision-making procedures, it attempts to increase the military's ability to respond quickly and effectively to threats and problems in specific places. ✅ All troops in that theatre are directed by a single appointed commander, normally a high-ranking officer, who is in charge of carrying out military operations in that specific region under a theatre command. ✅ This officer is given authority to allocate resources, organise operations, and coordinate the activity of several military branches in order to achieve common goals. Military doctrines, topographical concerns, and strategic goals can all influence how and where theatre commands are organised. ✅ The Indian Armed Forces currently have 17 commands divided into three divisions. In 2001, the Andaman Nicobar Command (ANC) was established as the first of the joint commands. The government established the Naresh Chandra Task Force on National Security in 2011-12 to assess the status of the GoM-recommended defence reforms a decade later. The group stressed the importance of a CDS and discussed the establishment of integrated functional commands for Space, Cyber, and Special Forces.  ✅ India currently has only two functional integrated commands: the Andaman Nicobar Command (ANC) and the Strategic Forces Command (SFC). ✅ India's branches are not integrated; commands are separated (the Air Force has two in the west, the Army has three, and both have three in the north). China, on the other hand, has a single joint WTC for the PLA Army and PLAAF. ✅ In today's complexity, India must ready across land, air, sea, cyber, space, and electronic warfare. Crucial for tackling issues like Pakistan's stance on Kashmir or China's Himalayan and ocean activities. Urgent reform of military needed to address challenges. Given the collaborative character of modern battle, theatersation is the most effective approach to prosecute a war. Because the nature of modern combat involves collaboration, theatersation is the most efficient way to prosecute a war. A long-term roadmap, fueled by ongoing reforms, is required for the intended integration. Higher defence reforms are on pace, addressing coordination, HR, command, and control shall ensure long-term success. #NationalSecurity #TheatreCommands #Army #Navy #AirForce #ANC
