Next Guest Speaker - Dr Jack Watling Senior Research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) 

Dr Jack Watling is Senior Research Fellow for Land Warfare at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) and is widely recognised as one of Britain’s foremost authorities on modern warfare. He advises the British and allied armed forces on force development and operational analysis and has worked extensively in Ukraine, Iraq, Mali and Rwanda. Originally a journalist, his work has appeared in Reuters, The Atlantic, Foreign Policy, The Guardian, Jane’s Intelligence Review and many other publications. An award-winning author and Global Fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., his books include The Arms of the Future and War by Others Means.

Dr Watling has proposed to speak on 'Armoured Manoeuvre on a Transparent Battlefield', drawing on his extensive operational research and first-hand observations of contemporary conflict.  In an era when drones, sensors, precision fires and artificial intelligence are fundamentally changing the character of war, this promises to be a most apt and fascinatingly relevant address that should not be missed.
