The warfighting challenge and the status of the UK targeting enterprise

Informed by lessons from Ukraine, the Strategic Defence Review announced the creation of a ‘digital targeting web’ connecting sensors, deciders and effectors, to enable ‘choice and speed in deciding how to degrade or destroy an identified target across domains and in a contested cyber and electromagnetic domain.’

This industry day is an introduction to the concept and aim of the Digital Targeting Web. The DTW will be delivered as part of the Targeting Programme of Record.  Led from UK Strategic Command, shortly to become new Cyber and Special Operations Command (CSOC), the Digital Targeting Web team is a collaboration with the National Armaments Director Group and industry.  Rich Alston is the DTW Chief Product Officer from the UK StratCom, and Rich Allen is the Digital Targeting Web Chief Technical Officer, from the NADG.

Due to anticipated interest, in-person places are limited to one per company.
