From Dual-Use Innovation to Operational Effect in Mountain Warfare
PRESENTATION ABSTRACT

From Dual-Use Innovation to Operational Effect in Mountain Warfare

The contribution shows how NATO DIANA and Palladion connect dual-use technologies with mountain-warfare requirements, military end users and representative test environments.

It addresses energy and logistics constraints, dispersed forces, extreme conditions, UAS and other uncrewed systems, sensors and communications.

The Exeger case illustrates how a commercial energy technology can be adapted to military operating conditions and how experimentation, end-user feedback and interoperability requirements support progression towards operational capability.

PRESENTATION FOCUS
Dual-Use Innovation Connecting commercial and dual-use technologies with operational requirements in mountain warfare.
NATO DIANA & Palladion Connecting technology developers with military end users, operational requirements and relevant test environments.
Energy & Logistics Addressing energy and sustainment constraints affecting dispersed forces in demanding environments.
Uncrewed Systems Considering UAS and other uncrewed systems within the mountain operational environment.
Experimentation Using representative test environments and end-user feedback to assess and adapt emerging technologies.
Operational Capability Progressing innovative solutions towards operational use through validation and interoperability requirements.
TECHNOLOGY CASE
EXEGER

The Exeger case provides an example of how commercial energy technology can be adapted to military operating conditions.

It illustrates the role of experimentation, military end-user feedback and interoperability requirements in moving a dual-use technology towards operational capability.
