This special seminar will provide a timely forum for leading Australian, UK and US government officials to inform academics about critical developments in geostrategic affairs, and for academics to provide their essential expertise directly to government officials at a pivotal moment of great geopolitical significance. The session occurs against the backdrop of the official HMG AUKUS Review led by Sir Stephen Lovegrove. Students will also be afforded the opportunity to attend and contribute. Following the seminar, a drinks reception will be held and select guests will retire to dinner.

This talk will delve into innovations in autonomous platforms and assess their implications for warfare and national security.
