TitleThe need for integrated analysis capabilities to keep the focus on cost-effectiveness through the life cycle

Don't Miss Our Presentation - On January 21, 2025, at 16:00, join Systecon's session featuring speakers Younes Lousseief and Oskar Tengö. This presentation will take a look at the path from data to decision. How information from different sources and formats, can be ingested, tweaked, and merged to form a model, which can be used in various analytical approaches for different purposes through the life cycle. And finally, how results and visualizations provide guidance and insights for well-informed decisions. This session is a must for those seeking innovative approaches to defense capabilities.

Scope of the Conference

The last year has seen nations across Europe scramble to increase their military capabilities, strength, and readiness against a backdrop of emerging threats, uncertainties, and reevaluation of existing relationships. Speed is of the essence, and ambitious plans and investments of heretofore unseen dimensions are being announced. New partnerships and modes of cooperation are being formed, and old ones are reinforced and reinvigorated, between governments and between governments and industry.

Operational Availability of Systems is one of the key elements of NATO’s Life Cycle Management objectives. Standardization is a means to achieve Interoperability between and among NATO nations and their industries. NATO AC/327 is following and building standardization on ISO/IEC 15288 and additional widely accepted international standards and specifications. NATO’s AAP-20, AAP-48, as well as the following standards, like ALP-10, provide a framework to support the whole life cycle of systems and systems of systems/systems of sub-systems in an optimized and interoperable way.

Clear interfaces between stakeholders can be defined to set up and implement interoperability on the maintenance & support level in addition to interoperability on the capability level, next to ensuring quality, analyzing life cycle costs, including engineering and configuration management, and to set up and support business models.

The conference looks at how these plans and investments turn into actual combat power in the hands of the warfighter.
