As adversaries develop new tools to deny, degrade, and disrupt U.S. and allied operations, the imperative to rethink how technology is built, deployed, and sustained has never been greater. Success in this theater will depend on developing hedge capabilities that pair with traditional forces, delivering flexibility and resilience against a range of potential threats. This strategy involves seamless integration of modern software, resilient networks, and AI-driven, autonomous platforms that will enable rapid scaling of capabilities and capacity driving mission execution. For defense leaders, the challenge is no longer simply keeping pace with technological change, it is creating the conditions to outpace adversaries while advancing responsibly.

This episode of GovExec TV, taking place at TechNet Indo-Pacific, will feature senior defense leaders discussing how disruptive hedge capabilities are transforming operational concepts and shaping the future of deterrence. The conversation will focus on integrating commercial grade software and AI into legacy missions, the shift toward autonomous and software driven systems, and accelerating research, development, and acquisition at Silicon Valley speed. Leaders will also examine the role of digital engineering in designing next generation capabilities, the evolving responsibilities of human operators, and the need to secure networks and supply chains against sophisticated threats.
