JOSCAR Award alumni join forces to tackle obsolescence in Defence
Winslow Adaptics and Advent IM—both past JOSCAR SME Innovation Award winners—have collaborated on a new podcast exploring the impact of obsolescence across the Defence industry.Obsolescence is often overlooked. It weakens supply chains, increases cyber risk, and compromises system integrity. That’s why Advent IM wanted to deep dive into the topic. They invited John Dyson, Technical Sales Manager at Winslow Adaptics and Vice Chair of IIOM UK & Ireland, to join the podcast panel. The two organisations met at JOSCAR Live 2024.
The discussion covers:
Engineering and security risks of obsolete systems
How legacy tech enables counterfeiting
Why obsolescence planning is key in procurement
The role of IIOM UK and global collaboration
Long-term strategies for system sustainability
Understand why this risk is growing - and how to respond.
“JOSCAR Live and the SME Innovation Award created the space for collaboration -connecting us with Winslow Adaptics and making this podcast panel even better.” Mike Gillespie, CEO, Advent IM
