Whither Warfare
The key question we have to ask is: "Where is warfare going in the future?"
As an integral part of General Dynamics UK, the Research Foundation exists to foster understanding of the evolving nature of warfare, with particular emphasis on command and battlespace management.
The Research Foundation sponsors periodic conferences under the ‘Whither Warfare’ banner to promote debate of topical issues. These conferences attract defence policy makers and acknowledged experts from academia to present their views and to participate in discussion with an audience drawn from across the defence community.
We welcome suggestions for topics for future conferences. Please send your ideas to Nicholas Beswick
