The focus of this year’s event was on autonomous systems, drones and artificial intelligence. Dr Markus Höpflinger from the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport gave a keyniote speech on the Swiss approach to drones and robotics from a military perspective, with Lt Col Richard Craig providing the British perspective.
The event concluded with a panel discussion comparing the UK and Swiss approaches, with a particular focus on co-operation in the field of cyber security and defence.
The Symposium has now become well-established as an important annual event in the defence community and we look forward to welcoming guests back for next year’s event.
