This year’s discussions focused on the role of communications and IT in national resilience and the effective functioning of the armed forces. Participants emphasised that it is not enough to have networks and equipment available: data must be trustworthy, services must continue despite disruption, systems must withstand cyberattacks, and decision-makers must be able to act amid large volumes of information. The importance of cooperation between the military, public administration, infrastructure operators, academia and industry was also highlighted.

Discussions also covered the use of artificial intelligence to analyse data and support decision-making, while emphasising the importance of data quality and human accountability. Cybersecurity, incident response, supply-chain protection and operational continuity were also addressed.

What's worth noticing is that at the last conference, the Military University of Technology’s presented solutions included the LORACO satellite communications system and the SatBIT modem. KenBIT collaborated on these projects: LORACO concerns the integration of HF and satellite communications, while SatBIT is a modem designed for data transmission in satellite communications systems.
