LEWG
•
Lessons Learned
• Communication is key
• Industry Working Groups
• One-on-One Discussions
• Maintain Relationships
• Always Seek Feedback on event
LEWG
•
Positive Outcomes
• Land 3025-1 (Deployable Special Operations Engineer
Capability) was introduced to a new prototype at the June
2013 LEWG by an industry member that is now being
incorporated in their Proof of Concept Activity.
LEWG
•
Positive Outcomes
• Land 19-7B (Ground Based Air and Missile Defence
Enhancement or Replacement) was able to utilize working
groups in conjunction with the LEWG to produce a response
to a capability study in which we gave industry scenarios and
they provided a response with their products. The study was
refreshed in 2011 and allowed the project team to discount
Ballistic Missile Defence from the project’s scope.
LEWG
•
Positive Outcomes
• Land 125-4 (Integrated Soldier System Version 3) was
informed by an industry member of a new production method
that increases the level of protection for sintered ceramic
plates and high curvature body armour. This method allows
the project team to closely manage new technology and
ensure that is implemented in to current or future projects as
required or briefed to Army HQ’s counterparts for inclusion in
needs statements.
LEWG
•
Positive Outcomes
• Land 500/ Land 75 (Remediation of Land Tactical
Electronic Warfare/Battlefield Command Systems) were
pleasantly surprised to learn at a LEWG event that industry
was investigating the use of multiple radio antennas on a
single vehicle/platform to determine interference issues.
LEWG
•
Positive Outcomes
• Land 75 (Battlefield Command Systems) utilized the
LEWG to inform industry members about Defence programs
for innovation and collaboration that some members were not
aware of. For example, the Capability Technology
Demonstrator (CTD) program and becoming a member of the
Rapid Prototyping and Development Evaluation program.
CTD Program- Enabling Innovation for
Defence Capability
