Bit of a hectic November coming up.
I'm heading out to sea again onboard a warship, now, I've done a fair few embarks over the years but it's always good to do another one or two, and this should be a good chance to see some hard-to-watch warfare from the deck of a ship, which is very cool, though I can't say much more yet.
Then it's straight on to an aircraft carrier for two big events for discussions on where naval power goes next, with a lot of very senior people from across the Alliance in the room, also very cool.
Then a few days at home to relax and have a few beers, and then I'm off to Turkey for NATO Edge in Izmir. It's run by the NATO Communications and Information Agency and it's essentially where NATO sits down with industry to work out what tech it actually needs and how to get it into service faster. AI, cloud, cyber defence, command and control. Over 2,000 people and around 200 companies, and SACT Admiral Vandier is among those opening it, again, cool.
Should be a good few weeks for the UK Defence Journal. If you're going to any of these, give me a shout.
