Rear-Admiral Zwick to speak at C4ISR and Beyond event

Vanguard recently announced that Rear-Admiral Jeffery Zwick, Chief of Force Development would deliver the keynote address at C4ISR and Beyond 2019. C4ISR and Beyond, now in its fifth year, is a one day conference that is hosted by Vanguard Media. The event aims to bring principal stakeholders from industry, military and government in one place to further the discussion of C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance). This environment helps to advance the conversation between key suppliers of C4ISR services and DND in a panel setting. Through this discussion, both industry and government will share meaningful information on a variety of technologies, capabilities and future needs. “We are excited that Rear-Admiral Zwick will be speaking at C4ISR and Beyond 2019,” said Terri Pavelic, Editor-in-Chief of Vanguard Media. “C4ISR is such a crucial part of any military, and with the accelerated progression of technology, it’s exciting to see the capabilities that are now possible that was not even available a year or two ago.” Rear-Admiral Zwick was promoted to his current rank earlier this year and has assumed the role of Chief of Force Development. In 2015, he was promoted to Commodore and appointed Commander Canadian Fleet Pacific and Commander of the Naval Training System. Rear-Admiral Zwick holds a Master’s Degree in Defense Studies and is a graduate of the National Security Programme at CFC Toronto. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of Military Merit in 2015. C4ISR and Beyond will take place on January 30, 2019, at the Fairmont Châeau Laurier in Ottawa. Tickets are currently on sale with an early bird rate expiring on November 30th, after which the regular price will apply. To learn more or to register for this event, please go to...

DJI Enterprise and Gap Wireless to Host Canadian Launch of DJI Enterprise Mavic 2 Enterprise Drone

DJI Enterprise, the world’s leader in civilian drones and aerial imaging technology, and Gap Wireless, a leading distributor of products and services for the mobile broadband & wireless markets, will jointly host the official Canadian launch of the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise (M2E) drone on November 20th in Mississauga. The event, showcasing the capabilities of the M2E in a live demo, will be held at the Gary Morden Centre, 7535 Ninth Line, Mississauga from noon to 2 p.m. Attendees can register at https://www.gapwireless.com/tech/dji-mavic-2-enterprise-launch/. The M2E is designed for any business that can benefit from an aerial view to get the job done, including Public Safety – police, fire, rescue – and infrastructure inspection. At an affordable price-point but offering powerful features, the M2E is ultra compact and foldable with an array of advanced controls and accessories that enhance human capabilities. This drone stands out from the pack with zoom imaging, modular accessories, heightened security features, and airspace protection. Attendees at the Canadian launch will see how the M2E expands capabilities for close range operations, providing enhanced visual access from a distance rather than putting personnel in harm’s way. Here are some of the industry-leading aspects of the M2E. Refined Imaging & Valuable Data Capture: Drone pilots doing close-range inspection or personnel responding to emergencies can gain enhanced visibility with the high-resolution 12-megapixel stabilized camera along with 2x Optical Zoom and 3x Digital Zoom.

Implied Trust … in Supply Chain Security – Part Two

Last month, my column “Implied Trust, Presumed Secure and Other Dangers of Supply Chain” covered supply chain security in the context of the network breach of a contractor for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) by Chinese hackers. Much to the US Navy’s chagrin, while the pilfered 614 gigabytes of US Navy data was unclassified, when aggregated it could be (or was, depending on the press release) classified. A massive haul, it included signal,...
