ACCELERATING DEFENCE ADAPTION THROUGH REAL-TIME CONFLICT AND LOW-COST TECHNOLOGIES IN THE MARITIME DOMAIN

Allan Dundas, CEO of DEWC Services, joins a panel exploring how defence innovation must adapt to the realities of modern conflict.

Traditional acquisition cycles can’t match the pace of hybrid threats and rapid technological change. Drawing lessons from Ukraine’s agile use of low-cost tech, AI, and battlefield-driven innovation, the discussion will examine how Indo-Pacific maritime forces can foster a culture of rapid adaptation.

The panel will consider pathways to turn frontline insights into actionable capability, the role of industry–government collaboration, and the ethical and policy frameworks needed to support accelerated innovation. Attendees will gain practical strategies to strengthen naval readiness and resilience in an increasingly contested maritime domain.
