OptimiSE Magazine Issue 9 – Engineering Innovation in the Energy Market

 

OptimiSE Magazine aims to explore the latest thinking in the Systems, Software and Engineering domains and we are confident that Issue 9 will not disappoint.  Whilst this latest magazine has somewhat of an ‘Energy’ theme to it, we hope those from a range of industries will benefit from what may be common cross-domain engineering challenges.

The green agenda is at the heart of many organisations and this shift towards renewable energy brings untold amounts of engineering complexity.  Systems Engineering is acting as a catalyst across the energy market from decarbonisation initiatives to engineering new renewable infrastructure.  It is with this in mind that we publish Issue 9 of OptimiSE magazine which includes a range of exploratory and thought-provoking articles.

OptimiSE Magazine is completely FREE to read.  To read the digital edition and to subscribe, visit: www.optimiseSE.co.uk

Training Success, Frederikshavn – Data Link Manager / Interface Control Officer Course

 

Having enjoyed a much needed Christmas holiday break, we were right back on the road in early January and are happy to announce the successful completion of our Data Link Manager / Interface Control Officer (DLM/ICO) course, held at Frederikshavn Naval Base in Denmark from 10-28 January.

 As the DLM/ICO is responsible for the entire Tactical Data Link (TDL) interface to include both planning and execution functions, it is critical the training scope is vast and comprehensive.  Over the course of three weeks North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members from Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway were provided with an in depth understanding of how to plan, build, interact and subsequently manage Multi TDL architectures. 

The course focused on providing students with a series of challenging learning outcomes using practical exercises, simulation, and real-world operational software.  This interactive process promotes a cooperative learning environment, allowing each student to progress with confidence and a developed knowledge of each TDL. Through the development of this type of knowledge TDL planners and operators are better equipped to identify and execute commander’s information exchange requirements, both in training and operational environments.

 Our next stop is Nieuw Milligen, Netherlands, where we are again delivering our DLM/ICO course to a group of personnel representing various organisations within the Dutch Armed Forces.
