Command the Spectrum –
Resilient, AI‑Driven Tactical Networks
A virtual summit for defense primes, operators, and innovators hardening 5G/6G, SATCOM, and mesh networks for multi‑domain operations.
Why This Summit — Why Now?
Contested spectrum is the new normal.
Peer adversaries field agile EW systems; resilient, AI‑orchestrated networks are a must‑have.
JADC2 drives convergence.
Tactical, space, and enterprise networks must interoperate seamlessly for true multi‑domain command & control.
5G.mil pilots are scaling.
Early results demand an ecosystem of RICs, open RAN, and secure edge clouds ready for field deployment.
LEO & HAPS are operational.
Hybrid SATCOM + terrestrial links enable anywhere connectivity — if routing, security, and policy stay intact.
Key Themes
Theme
Sample Question
Dynamic Spectrum Sharing & Anti‑Jamming
How do we allocate, protect, and pivot spectrum in milliseconds under attack?
Open RAN for Defense
What does a secure, vendor‑agile RAN look like for tactical edge?
Autonomous ISR & Edge AI
Where should inference live — UxV, far‑edge cloudlet, or orbital node?
Hybrid SATCOM & NTN
How do we stitch together LEO, MEO, GEO, and airborne networks?
Zero‑Trust & Quantum‑Safe Security
Can we harden links today against tomorrow’s cryptographic threats?
Rapid Test & Certification
How do we shorten lab‑to‑field cycles for classified payloads?
