The overall design of the conference:
“Intelligent arms and systems for collective defence and security”
As
a
continuation
of
the
tradition
of
our
cooperation
with
the
Ministry
of
Defense
and
military
educational
institutions,
our
conference
this
year
will
be
in
partnership
with
the
National
Military
University
"Vasil
Levski"
and
the
Naval
Academy
"Nikola
Vaptsarov"
under
the
Patronage
of
the
Minister
of
Defense.
The
war
in
Ukraine
has
introduced
new
dimensions
and
new
understandings
of
modern
warfare
and
the
ways
of
conducting
combat
operations.
Issues
related
to
the
development
and
use
of
intelligent
weapons
and
systems
have
been
constantly
discussed
in
recent years. Today, we see their actual use.
It
can
be
rightly
argued
that
the
innovations
and
technologies
developed
by
companies
have
outpaced
classical
military
approaches
to
protection and production, and that these technologies are changing the strategy and tactics of combat operations.
It is a fact that a commercial satellite communication system is being used, it is a fact that commercial drones are being used for reconnaissance
and strikes against the enemy, and it is also a fact that commercial software tools, including those using artificial intelligence that identify
enemy objects and targets, are being used.This is why AFCEA SOFIA CHAPTER is proposing this particular topic. Companies can
demonstrate a lot, the administration needs to specify what they require, and scientists should suggest the forms and methods for utilizing
achievements in the best possible way and address some of the many questions:
- How and with what should we arm ourselves;
- Which systems will lead to faster and cheaper results;
- What is the role of critical infrastructure;
- How to build synergy between users, science, and business;
