The Department of Defense is modernizing its IT infrastructure to deliver the speed, precision, and resilience required across today’s multi-domain battlespace. Modular computing, cloud solutions, AI, and Zero Trust security are no longer optional — they are essential to mission agility.
Modern operations demand rapid decision-making and reliable systems, yet outdated IT often slows coordination and limits flexibility. This GovExec TV Dispatch explores how defense leaders and industry partners are accelerating technology upgrades to enhance operational readiness.
Panelists will discuss how emerging tools — from mobile and edge computing in the field, to AI-driven analytics for situational awareness, to 5G-enabled adaptability — are transforming mission execution. They will also examine how to integrate legacy systems with modern architectures to support joint and coalition operations, while advancing Zero Trust models to counter evolving cyber threats.
The conversation will focus on building a secure, adaptable, and future-ready IT environment that ensures the U.S. military can outpace the speed of conflict and stay mission-ready.
