As geopolitical challenges grow more sophisticated and the digital landscape evolves, defense agencies are under increasing pressure to act faster, with greater precision and confidence. Building a future-ready defense enterprise requires more than just adopting new technologies; it demands a strategic approach to integrating cloud, edge, AI, and real-time data in support of mission-critical decision-making. This session will explore proven strategies and real-world examples of how defense organizations are turning information into timely, actionable intelligence—preserving decision advantage and mission superiority in a rapidly changing world.

Today's dynamic global landscape identifies a critical need for us to thoughtfully evolve how we are defending ourselves from advanced missile and space-based threats. This effort is deeply connected to ensuring effective space command and control. In this session, we'll explore the critical push for significant advancements in missile defense technology, going beyond what's currently possible to build a truly connected system for national defense.

We'll discuss how a credible defense capability, supported by resilient and intelligent space command and control and resilient infrastructure, can help reduce the likelihood of missile-based aggression, acting as a strong deterrent. By embracing edge technology, global infrastructure and leveraging sophisticated threat intelligence to improve decision-making in space operations, the U.S. can enhance its overall deterrence posture and contribute to a more secure and stable international environment. This mission-focused approach is essential for safeguarding the American people and securing our future.
