Lab to Deployment: Integrating Fusion-Derived Tech into Defence Systems
Date & Time

Description

Moving fusion-derived technologies from the laboratory to deployed defence systems requires more than technical performance: technologies must meet platform requirements, survive qualification, be manufacturable at scale and have a viable procurement pathway. 

  • Collaboration Roadmaps: identifying near-term applications and defining practical pathways from demonstration through integration to deployment. 
  • OEM & Supply-Chain Readiness: engaging primes early and developing secure, scalable supply chains capable of supporting deployment. 
  • Platform Integration: adapting laboratory technologies to meet size, weight, power, reliability and interoperability requirements. 
  • Testing & Qualification: demonstrating performance and reliability in operationally relevant environments and progressively retiring integration risk. 
  • Synthesis of opportunities & summary of investment opportunities and pathways.
