The concept of operations philosophy is migrating to the world of defence system research, design and development.

Traditionally the Concept of Operations (CONOPS) approach is associated with a commander’s intent on the battlefield. What are their goals, how will they be achieved and what are their assumptions?

In our latest podcast, we catch up with Mack McKinney of smoothprojects.org. Mr. McKinney is an experienced teacher who has trained thousands of students during his career. He specialises in applying the CONOPS approach to system design and development. He shares with us how CONOPS can help the realisation of complex systems, particularly in the electronic warfare domain.
