Overview
The RAF's Strategy recognises information as the lifeblood of the Next Generation Air Force. Reliable, timely, accurate and relevant information is critical to the successful delivery of air power and the effective management of the RAF. And in the cyber-age, information, more than ever before, is a weapon in itself. As the RAF enters its second century, it depends on the skills and initiative of its cyber and information professionals to make this vision a reality.
The talk will cover:
- The demand (Air-warfare in the Information Age)
- The industrial base (What should we expect from industry? Masters of our own destiny - Being a better customer)
- The role of the RAF cyber and information trades (Innovation in technology and process - putting the bytes and pixels together into an operational system - adding the Air Power perspective to make it fit for purpose)
- The future (attracting, employing and retaining the right people - experimentation and innovation in the RAF Strategy - cyber and information services vice tin and string)
