Readiness when it matters most 🎯
At Future Land Forces by Defence Leaders in Warsaw, Poland 🇵🇱 Harry Corstens (VP Europe, @ILIAS_Solutions part of @group_patria ) will show how software transforms operational #readiness by connecting data, people, and processes into one unified #system. With one single source of truth, everyone works from the same data — enabling faster, more confident decisions when it matters most.

Mission accomplished.
@NASA's Orion spacecraft we built for the Artemis II mission has safely returned to Earth, bringing back four astronauts from their historic 10-day journey to the Moon and back. Humanity's first step toward a permanent presence at the Moon has begun.
