Bridging Space and Earth: Governance, Spectrum, and Validation Challenges in NTN and Satcom on the Move
The convergence of Non- Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and Satcom on the Move (SOTM) is reshaping global connectivity, enabling resilient communication across terrestrial and satellite domains. As integration with 5G and future 6G accelerates, challenges around spectrum coordination, regulation and cross border operation intensify. SOTM use across land, air and sea adds further complexity, compounded by limited standardised testing and validation. This panel examines regulatory, technical and validation needs, highlighting the importance of harmonised standards to support interoperable, scalable NTN and SOTM deployment.

The Rolls-Royce Rotary Piston Diesel Project 1964-1974 (Online)
In the 1960s, many rotary piston engine developments were launched based on the principles established by Felix Wankel and his colleagues at NSU. While most of these engines were petrol-fuelled, Rolls-Royce (Crewe) was uniquely commissioned in 1964 by the Military Vehicles and Engineering Establishment (MVEE) to develop a diesel variant for use as a high power-to-weight ratio engine in fighting vehicles. This presentation explores the engines design concept, technical challenges, extensive development programme, and the successes and setbacks that shaped the project. Although the programme ended in 1974, the engines had already demonstrated successful operation on testbeds and in a vehicle. The talk will also provide an update on the recommissioning of one of the surviving engines. The presenter briefly worked on the project in the 1970s and is now involved in restoring the engine at the Anson Engine Museum.

Visit to Bawdsey Radar Museum
A world first - The Story of Bawdsey Radar. In February 1936 research scientists occupied Bawdsey Manor House and the outbuildings were converted into workshops. On the 24th September September 1937 RAF Bawdsey became the first fully operational radar station in the world. 240ft wooden receiver towers and 360ft steel transmitter towers were built and Bawdsey became the first Chain Home Radar Station. By the outbreak of World War 2 a chain of radar stations was in place around the coast of Britain. RAF Bawdsey was unique in that it had Coastal Defence(CD) Chain Home Low (CHL) and Chain Home equipment together on one site. Radar stations such as Bawdsey were to prove invaluable intelligence during the battle of Briatain when 2,400 Luftwaffe planes were set against the RAF's 640. The LN are running this value added visit with a presentation from Graham Murchie, Trustee of Bawdsey Radar together with light refreshments. This year there will be a charge of 10:00GBP to cover the expenses.
