FOT-Net International Workshops


Fostering cooperation across regions...

In order to exchange information about Field Operational Test activities and foster cooperation with North America and Japan, two international FOT-Net workshops have been planned.

 

These workshops aim to address the challenges and needs of the various regions actively involved in Field Operational Tests. Examples of topics for cooperation include:

  • Methodologies: Commonalities and differences across the regions
  • Comparison of results: How to make sure Field Operational Test results and data are comparable? Should we synchronise research questions and Performance indicators? Are the research questions similar?
  • Data exchange: relevance and willingness to establish a data exchange platform.
  • Deployment issues: How to accelerate deployment after a Field Operational Tests? What are the decision criteria leading to Policy or market driven deployment? Is there a need for concrete examples and eventually the best practices?
