Our eleventh edition: Otherworldly - The emergence of the Metaverse in defence
In this edition we are delving into the world of emerging technology; exploring current and upcoming technological advancements, debunking myths, and featuring real-world examples of agile innovation.
To begin with, we take a deep dive into the Metaverse, exploring the reality of the
technological buzzword we’ve all heard before. We look at the importance of hardware
in driving forward the development of Metaverse software, address the many challenges
that developers face, and consider the applications of the Metaverse within the defence
industry.
The second deep dive attempts to demystify cyber – another technological concept that, despite being integral to today’s defence and security landscape, remains subject to misconception. We address common myths with aim to ‘debunk’ them and consider how people are the most important component for the success and advancement of cyber systems.
We also have a feature on the Ukraine conflict - addressing how Ukraine is showcasing the importance of prototype warfare and agile process within Defence.
