Towards Self Sufficiency – A Sustainable Defence Support Working Group

Context: Once deployed force elements will be self-sufficient, Forces will be able to operate for prolonged periods without the need for resupply.  Realisation of this concept is dependent on a ‘closed loop’ system of systems solution.

Outline of Activities: Defence Support will share their concept and experimentation plans, Army HQ will provide a view of their deployable infrastructure programme and KBR as a provider of current deployable fuel and water systems will highlight areas for innovation.

Your Input: In the afternoon workshops challenge our assumptions, tell us what we don’t know and promote your innovative water, waste, energy, material solutions and how they will lead to the adoption of circular economic principles.

Outcome: The workshop will identify potential solutions for experimentation and demonstration in 2024 contributing to the evidence base informing SDSR 25 investment decisions.

Who Should attend: Providers of deployable base infrastructure, utilities and innovators in material, food, waste water, energy and circular economics.  We also need enablers to support data capture, connectivity, processing, and performance management.

Register to Attend: The event is hybrid and free to attend.  There will be limited in person attendance with wider online participation. In person tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis and limited to one person per company.
