Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Next Generation of Warfighter Training
Q: How is the character of warfare changing and what does that mean for training today?
Training is moving from traditional, centralized classes to distributed, immersive methods like AR/VR and computer-based systems, enabling faster throughput and the ability to train continuously, both in garrison and from home, while preserving essential live-action checks.
It's Time to Rethink Canada's Military Training
Q: What stands in the way of adopting an integrated training ecosystem in Canada?

Guardians of the North
Q: What type of programs and services is Calian working on to provide solutions in interoperability?
Calian has developed an environment called the Virtual Command and Control Interface to facilitate interoperability among various systems in a complex battlefield.
