Strategic Defence Review 2024: Call for Evidence

Thank you for engaging with the Strategic Defence Review.

The UK faces threats that are growing and diversifying: war in Europe; conflict in the Middle East; states across the world that are increasingly acting in ways that challenge regional and global stability as well as our values and interests; terrorist groups; hybrid attacks; and instability caused by climate change.

Therefore, on 16 July 2024, the Prime Minister launched a Strategic Defence Review (SDR) to ensure the United Kingdom is both secure at home and strong abroad – now and for the years to come.

It is to be Britain’s review – not just the Government’s – so will consult serving military, veterans, MPs of all parties, industry, and academia.

The SDR will be headed by three external Reviewers in a first-of-its-kind for UK defence:

    Lord Robertson - Former Defence Secretary and NATO Secretary General (Review lead)
    Dr Fiona Hill CMG - Foreign policy expert and former US presidential advisor
    General Sir Richard Barrons – Former Commander Joint Forces Command and former Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff

This call for views sets out specific propositions to be answered that will help our team of reviewers. You are invited to provide responses to each of the propositions by no later than 30 September 2024. You will be allowed to submit up to 500 words per proposition. Please note you cannot submit a response more than once.

I'm going to leave this article up and promise to provide better in-depth articles in this regard.

Smartphone array FTW!!!

"Hecker provided significant new details on Ukraine’s low-cost acoustic sensor array. Called Skyfortress, the system uses 9,500 sensors located across the Ukrainian countryside to detect threats."

Slightly interesting article:

"There are three groups of animals that showed the most pronounced rapid change in brain size: primates, rodents, and carnivores. In these three groups, there is a tendency for relative brain size to increase in time (the "Marsh-Lartet rule"). This is not a trend universal across all mammals, as previously believed."

I think what matters most in this type of post is the type of discussion that results, even if it is off topic.

My news aggregation website is coming soon. It is just a matter of risk, reward, and maintenance with the site itself. If I had the funding and did not have to work a normal day job I would do it over night.

Cherry pick news articles that fit a certain theme and post them? Anyone can do that. Aggregate maps and data, sure.

I just wanted to make sure it wasn't Russian trolls that flagged this post as it is the first or one of the first and the article is about Russian "death camps". I try to focus entirely on engineering and tech related to the war in Ukraine in hopes of recruiting and encouraging engineers and software developers to help improve the situation in Ukraine by improving their technological capability while also offering opportunities to participate and develop their careers at the same time.

I'm working on my work/information flow so I'm able to spread better tech related news here at HackerNews YCombinator.

I enjoy reading and contributing the highly technical articles as that is what we want here. We don't want low level shit here. Slipping in one of these off-topic related articles is okay every now and then but I thought it would be at least interesting for us to read something about the condition of prisoners and their deaths due to ill-treatment. The world needs to know.

The topics that I submit are mostly related to new technological developments in the defense industry. I try to give leads in new military technology so if engineers and software developers want to contribute or start a career path in the defense industry they have a leg up.

This particular post about Russian war crimes has over 60 comments which I think is significant and the post should not be flagged.

I am a high profile Ukraine War activist and what I post I think matters. Quite a few people in the defense industry and government read the posts that I submit to Hacker News YCombinator. I have a very large following in government and the international defense industries. I am working on a better work flow for news aggregation to bring more relevant up-to-date news to this community here and on X.com.

When it comes to war crimes and stories that relate to human atrocities I think an acception should be made here.

None of my posts should be flaggable at this point. Probably Russian trolls?
