Stuart Whitehead (SES), Joint Chief of Staff J6, to share his perspectives on network enabled capability at Network Centric Warfare 2020

SMi Reports: Stuart Whitehead from the Exercise Bold Quest this year, will be presenting at the Network Centric Warfare Conference in February 2020.

Exercise Bold Quest 19.1 (BQ19.1), the latest in a series of Coalition Capability Demonstration and Assessment events, seeks to improve communication and information sharing across a wide variety of coalition networks and resources. Fifteen countries and NATO Headquarters participated in the exercise in Finland earlier this year, alongside soldiers, airmen and air assets from the Indiana National Guard, giving the guardsmen an unparalleled chance to train alongside forces from around the world.

Stuart Whitehead (SES), Deputy Director Cyber and C4 Integration, Joint Chiefs of Staff J6, is one of the individuals in charge of ensuring that the exercise creates the necessary conditions to run effective tests.

“Bold Quest is really about problem-solving. The focus is on interoperability which just means we want to be able to operate together just as any team would want to operate…What we do is try to identify problems before we enter a training event or before we actually have to go into operations so that we don’t learn those lessons the hard way...” he stated.

Stuart Whitehead, alongside Clifford Fegert (SES), Director Networks and Architectures, US Department of the Air Force Concepts, Development and Management Office, US Air Force, will be discussing their own perspectives on network enabled capability and providing vital updates on their own efforts on day one of the conference.
