On the 30th of November, the 1st solo edition of the Disruptive Military Practices & Technologies Training will be held at POTC’s home base – Jable Castle for a group of dedicated participants mainly coming from the Slovenian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence.
The aim of the Disruptive Military Practices & Technologies Training is to address the emergence of new threats and opportunities in the security and defence field. More concretely, the sessions will focus on the following subjects:
Space Weather: insights into the influence of space weather on critical infrastructure;
Space Technologies and their Applications: the latest developments in space technologies and their practical applications in the defence sector;
EU Technological Sovereignty: addressing the crucial topic of maintaining technological sovereignty within the European Union;
The Disruptive Potential of AI in the Field of Security: understanding the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on national and international security.
The participants of the training will have the chance to hear about and discuss these important topics with leading lecturers whose insights are invaluable. The field of emerging technologies and their influence on our common security are topics that need addressing, especially because we live in an interconnected world where technology is developing exponentially while our human understanding of it seems to lagging behind.

The past week, 21 participants attended the International Humanitarian Law & Military Practice Developments Training for Military Personnel where we delved into what is currently going in the international arena, the defence challenges ahead and took a look at Slovenia’s space outlook.
The training also took us to the Noordung Center in Vitanje where we discovered Slovenia’s defence capabilities connected to space. The training also included topics such as targetting according to international law, disruptive military technologies, and neurocognitive science in military and intelligence operations. No stone was left unturned and the participants received an extensive overview of current practices and future challenges.
This training would not have been possible without the cooperation of the Ministry of Defence.
