DEFENCE DECONSTRUCTED PODCAST

September 27, 2024

On this Defence Deconstructed 2-parter, David Perry talks to Fellow Alex Rudolph about digital transformation and how it requires to fundamentally transform the Canadian military. This segment is part of our Triple Helix set of activities, and is based on a paper Alex wrote earlier in 2024, "Digital Transformation and Pan-Domain: The CAF’s Quiet Revolution in Military Affairs".

Then (@38:35), you’ll hear a panel discussion on the implementation of defence real property projects between:

• Genevieve Lehoux, Senior Director NORAD Modernization Infrastructure Project Delivery at the Department of National Defence.
• Tracy Fleck, Director General Indigenous Affairs at the Department of National Defence.
• Colonel Daniel Constable, Director Fighter Capability Requirements for the Royal Canadian Air Force.
• Greg Witol, Policy Adviser to the Commander of the Canadian Joint Operations Command.
• Moderated by retired Brigadier General Dan MacIsaac, partner at CFN Consultant.

That conversation was a panel from our conference on building the necessary infrastructure for NORAD modernization, which took place on June 13, 2024. This event was made possible thanks to the Department of National Defence’s MINDS Program, CGAI’s strategic sponsors Lockheed Martin Canada, General Dynamics, Hanwha Defence and Ocean, Cenovus, conference silver sponsor Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, and bronze sponsors PCL Construction and Rio Tinto.
