What is the role of intelligence in defence? Knowing your enemy has always been vital in traditional warfare, but with the dawn of digital technology and social media, defence seems to have taken on a different character - one where information is not just vital to war and peace, but its defining characteristic.


To win in this new age of defence, Britain must establish what some have called 'information advantage'. So how well equipped are we?

With Professor Peter Roberts, Director of Military Sciences at RUSI; Dominic Nicholls, the Telegraph’s Defence and Security Correspondent; and Simon Fovargue, the UK and Europe chief executive of Leidos.

Presented by Katy Balls.

Sponsored by Leidos.
