A generation already separates us from the passage to the year 2000.
Although less well known than its consumer counterpart, the Defense and Security telecommunications sector has undergone a veritable high-tech revolution in the first quarter of this century.
Since the early 2000s, the return of high-intensity and low-intensity conflicts has highlighted the strategic need for our armed forces to renew their communications resources in order to benefit from cutting-edge technologies.
Over and above simple communication, these technologies enable them to meet all the operational challenges posed by the massive interconnection of players and the real-time exchange of information.
Today, whether it's the use of the Internet, the cloud, artificial intelligence or mobile telephony, the military uses tools whose quality and ergonomics are in no way inferior to those available in our everyday environment.
But the military sector also has its own specific requirements.
On the one hand, networks and their equipment must withstand extreme and hostile environmental constraints, espionage and cyber-attacks.
On the other hand, the industrial strains of equipment must take into account potential geopolitical threats (embargoes, fragile transport chains). Guaranteeing French and/or European sovereignty is essential.
Telecom Paris Alumni's Networks and Services group is organizing a conference on November 26, 2024 with Marc Darmon, to help you understand the many issues at stake in this revolution in military telecommunications.
Celui-ci, Senior Vice President Europe of the Thales Group, Chairman of FISC1 and former Chairman of GICAT2, has experienced this transformation of the industry at close hand, and will share with us its stages and successes.
In partnership with Telecom Paris Executive Education, the conference and round table will be held at 9 bd Romain Rolland (Magnetik building) between 6pm and 8pm, followed by a cocktail reception.
