Monday 19th May - 1845 for 1930.
‘Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Weapons Systems and the future of Air Warfare’ to be presented by Professor Peter Lee a leading expert on the subject, is returning to talk about the changing face of modern warfare. Increasing automation and autonomy in both armed Autonomous Weapons Systems and off-the-shelf commercial drones is changing the way air power is used in war and non-conventional military operations.
With reference to Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas/Hezbollah, this presentation will reflect on key developments in recent years: technological advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomy, the realpolitik that is shaping autonomous drone development and use and how levels of autonomy shift political and military risk, and the ethical considerations involved.
Monday 23rd June - 1845 for1930 ‘Saving ‘Charlie November’ – the Historic Britten-Norman Islander – G-AVCN’ presented by Mr. Bob Wealthy who will give an illustrated account of the project to save the Britten-Norman Islander aircraft ‘Charlie November’ G-AVCN and return it to the Isle of Wight where it was built as the third BN-2 Islander aircraft. It was constructed and delivered to Glos Air in 1967 – and is the oldest of the type still surviving. Saving ‘Charlie November’ began in late 1999, with G-AVCN being dismantled and shipped back to Bembridge in 2000. Restoration of this Islander aircraft took 23 years and the landmark completion stages will be explained by Bob, who will also cover the origins of the Britten-Norman Company and the BN-2 Islander’s operational history.
