Each year, this event serves as a crucial platform for military, government, international partners and industry professionals to connect, collaborate, and strategize on integrating additive technologies. It aims to enhance current capabilities and maintain competitiveness across all aspects of defense.
The 9th Annual Military Aviation & Air Dominance Summit will convene senior-level experts and decision-makers from across the U.S. Military Services, the Department of War, International Partners, Acquisition Authorities, and Industry for a Joint Service discussion on strategies, initiatives, and emerging capabilities critical for enhancing lethality and restoring the warrior ethos in pursuit of total air dominance. Amid a dynamic and shifting global landscape shaped by lessons from, Ukraine, and the Middle East, the U.S. Military Services are undergoing a strategic reorientation to maintain and expand air superiority over increasingly sophisticated adversaries, reshaping the balance between manned aviation, unmanned systems, and the divestiture of legacy platforms.
DSI’s 2nd Loitering Munitions Systems Summit will convene senior military leaders, leading experts, policymakers, acquisition authorities, and innovators to explore the latest advancements and applications in loitering munition systems and technologies to support the Warfighter and national defense objectives. Discussions at the event will provide valuable insights into the evolving global landscape of drone warfare and the associated opportunities and challenges.
15th Annual Special Operations Force & Irregular Warfare Symposium will convene senior leaders, leading experts, and strategic decision makers from across the SOF community, regional combatant commands, the DoW, industry, and academia to examine the complexities of unconventional and hybrid warfare strategies, as well as the operational challenges currently facing the SOF enterprise. Discussions will explore force modernization, capability development, irregular warfare strategies, technology integration, and the partnerships required to ensure USSOF remains a globally deployed, high-impact force prepared to counter emerging threats and succeed across future operational environments.
As geopolitical tensions intensify across every region of the world, competition for control, access, exploitation, and dominance of the electromagnetic spectrum continues to accelerate. The technologies that enable EMS superiority are advancing just as rapidly – reshaping the character of conflict, deterrence, and strategic advantage. While the contest for the spectrum is universal, its challenges and opportunities are uniquely shaped by regional dynamics, emerging threats, alliance structures, and operational environments.
The 6th Annual Military Vehicle Systems Summit, developed in partnership with the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC), will convene senior leaders, engineers, and acquisition professionals from across the Military Services, industry, and academia to examine how next-generation ground platforms are conceived, designed, and sustained in an era of rapid modernization and great-power competition. Speakers will discuss platforms such as the XM30 and M-1E3 Abrams, the Amphibious Combat Vehicle, SOF mobility platforms, and connected combat vehicles, the program will focus on translating concepts into fielded capability through rapid prototyping, digital engineering, and tighter integration between requirements, S&T, and acquisition communities.
Defense Strategies Institute’s Integrated Command and Control (C2) Summit will convene leaders from the military services, federal government, industry, and academia in a collaborative, engaging town hall forum to discuss the integration of military command and control systems across land, air, sea, space, and cyber domains. The Integrated C2 Summit will explore the modernization of military command and control systems across all domains to achieve information superiority and enable accelerated decision-making.
The 4th annual Space Economy Summit brings together the space sector and the industries it is reshaping. Space is no longer only for aerospace companies. Satellite data, resilient connectivity, Earth observation, secure timing, AI-enabled analytics and microgravity research are beginning to reshape industries from agriculture, energy and insurance to logistics, healthcare, finance, telecoms and manufacturing. Join us to examine which markets are ready to scale, which technologies are commercially credible and how space can deliver measurable returns to Earth.
This October, join smart manufacturing, technology and automation experts at the Smart Manufacturing for Aerospace & Defense Summit to discover how to deploy smart technologies, modernize operations, and build resilient, Industry 4.0-enabled A&D manufacturing and supply chain capabilities Aerospace & defense manufacturers are at a pivotal juncture. Rising geopolitical risk, increased defense spending, and rapidly evolving mission requirements are driving demand for greater manufacturing capabilities.
