Empowering the Combatant Commands Is Critical for the Future Fight - War on the Rocks "Command and control is not a single piece of technology. It is a complex system that spans from an organization’s structure and processes to the networks, software, and physical infrastructure that support operations. The make-up of this system, including the size and composition of the staff, the tools they use, and buildings (if any) they occupy, is intricately tied to the environment in which it operates. When that environment changes — whether through the introduction of new technologies, a shift in adversary tactics, or evolving alliance requirements — the system should adapt in response." Calian Group delivers military training solutions to sustain readiness for any mission - no matter how many different elements or forces are participating. Our training solutions enable interoperability across simulation and operational systems in a synthetic training environment - powered by our virtual command and control interface (VCCI) and audio distribution service (ADS) capability. By combining simulation and operational tools, Calian delivers a true "train-as-you-fight" experience for any defence customers - including for joint and multi-national training and operations.

How AI Is Redefining Defense - Forbes "As nations face complex geopolitical challenges and ever-evolving threats, the integration of AI into defense is a strategic necessity. From decision support systems to autonomous weapons, with applications from logistics optimization and cybersecurity, AI is enhancing various areas of military capabilities. It’s also helping to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and bolster national security." Calian Group is currently leading a project supporting development of intelligent systems for the Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes (CAF). The Calian team is working with a range of emerging technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), multimodal displays, attention-aware displays (sustained attention), clutter and situation awareness, trust in automation, human automation interaction with unmanned systems, man-unmanned teaming, intelligent adaptive interfaces, augmented cognition, adaptive learning and intelligent tutoring. The research will help the CAF in its design, implementation, acquisition, and operation of military systems such as AI, robotics, machine learning and autonomous systems.

The shallow Baltic Sea holds deep secrets about a hybrid war on NATO - Defense News "The shallow waters of the Baltic Sea have become a secondary arena of confrontation in the larger standoff between the East and the West. Fears of hybrid warfare, coupled with key vulnerabilities on both sides, make this narrow stretch of water one of the key areas to watch as hybrid warfare activities expand and NATO bolsters its eastern flank." Calian Group is a global provider of military training and simulation solutions for large, complex exercises. This means including all modern threats in training exercises to deliver the most realistic experience possible. The Calian approach integrates conventional challenges like logistics, ISR, air superiority, targeting and fires with unconventional challenges like unmanned operations in the naval domain and ever-evolving hybrid warfare threats.

Canada boosting Arctic presence in face of Russian threats - The Guardian "The government envisions the deployment of new patrol ships and navy destroyers, ice breakers and submarines capable of operating beneath ice sheets, as well as more aircraft and drones. Along with the United States it is modernizing continental defences including surveillance of northern approaches with new maritime sensors and satellites." With climate change altering the High North's geographic, geopolitical and military landscape, Arctic security is a growing area of concern. Calian Group delivers military training, cyber and space services and solutions for the Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes and NATO including military training at the NATO Joint Warfare Centre in Stavanger, Norway. We also deliver ground installations for satcom to meet the needs of extreme hot and cold environments. All of these capabilities are well suited to the suite of programs outlined in Canada's Continental Defence Modernization plans.

Norway defense team collaborates with DLA leaders on contested logistics - Defense Logistics Agency "The U.S. and Norway have much to gain by collaborating to overcome supply chain vulnerabilities, (Brig. Gen. Anders) Jernberg said. Regardless of where a conflict might occur in Europe, the Norwegian coast – the second-longest coastline in the world and ice-free year-round – could be a landing point and transit area for U.S. forces, he added. The U.S. already stores some equipment in Norway through the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program. U.S. forces also participate with NATO allies in the biennial Nordic Response exercise to enhance military collaboration." Arctic security is a growing area of concern. Calian Group delivers a wide range of defence, cyber and space services and solutions for the Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes and NATO including large, complex military training exercise for the NATO Joint Warfare Centre in Stavanger, Norway just below the Arctic Circle. Our training solutions enable interoperability across simulation and operational systems in a common synthetic training environment - powered by our virtual command and control interface (VCCI) and audio distribution service (ADS) capability.

Moving Toward Defense as a Service - War on the Rocks "Advances in commercially available technologies — such as drones, 3-D printing, and space imaging —enable adversaries to quickly adapt their strategies and capabilities using commercial off-the-shelf technologies....While adaptive requirements and service-oriented contracts can be part of the solution, rapid adaptation also requires a real-time understanding for how an adversary has adapted their technology. The United States must embed engineers on the frontlines and not just combat engineers. This isn’t about bridges and minefields but is about placing the architects of adaptation in the thick of it so that they can help modify equipment in real time as battlefield conditions adapt." With an array of adaptive, cutting-edge technologies, Calian Group is currently leading a project supporting development of intelligent systems for the Department of National Defence/Ministère de la défense nationale and Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes (DND/CAF). The Calian team is working with a range of emerging technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), multimodal displays, attention-aware displays (sustained attention), clutter and situation awareness, trust in automation, human automation interaction with unmanned systems, man-unmanned teaming, intelligent adaptive interfaces, augmented cognition, adaptive learning and intelligent tutoring.

America is Not Prepared for a Protracted War - War on the Rocks "History is filled with examples of states that planned to fight a short, sharp war, only to become ensnared in conflicts that dragged on inconclusively for weeks or months or years — and which consumed vast quantities of munitions, equipment, and lives in the process....We believe that a comprehensive U.S. plan to fight and win such a war should include four critical elements: mobilization, contested logistics, the limits of the defense-industrial base, and protecting the homeland during wartime." At Calian Group we integrate the latest lessons learned into our training exercise development and delivery. Assumptions about the character of future warfare and how "Great Power Competition" will look next month - or next year - are always shifting. Our training team integrates the latest real-world research and analysis into high-readiness military training, bringing a "train as you fight" mindset to concept and scenario development.

NATO artillery units link up their fires in Europe’s snowy north - Defense News "The name of the game here in Lapland, the northernmost region of Finland, was to have a call for fire made by one of the nations and the fires delivered by other ones to increase the interoperability of the different artillery systems. In total, this leg of the exercise included 130 pieces of artillery equipment...." Calian Group delivers large, complex military training exercises with joint and multinational participation.
