MOBILE SATELLITE PODCASTS & WEBINARS
Event Description:
The MilSat Symposium serves as a bridge between the Department of Defense and industry professionals. As space technology proliferates worldwide, DoD has more choice in the rapid development and deployment of next-generation space defense technologies. Space operations have a critical role in inter-agency communication and an increasing role in the defense of space assets. The MilSat Symposium fosters discussion on these new and developing connections while addressing the  technological, logistical, and financial understandings needed to build next-generation military space  infrastructure.

Dates: June 1-3, 2021
When: 8am-1pm PST

Aviation Week WEBINAR:
Disconnected Operations - What Happens When Military Assets Have No Connectivity
Tuesday, April 13th
11:00 AM ET | 8:00 AM PT 
register
Increasingly, the military is embracing digital transformation and advanced tools to achieve operational availability and materiel readiness on the status, whereabouts and availability of equipment and personnel—uninterrupted and in real-time. Seemingly contradictory to that, the military is also exploring distributed operation models that, while mitigating the threats of operating in hostile environments such as remoteness, extreme weather conditions and physical attack, raises serious connectivity and logistical questions.
 
How can you maintain real-time insights into the force-wide availability and readiness of assets, when they exist in a disconnected environment? Join IFS as they answer this question and explain the processes, tools, and software architecture required to keep military equipment, personnel, and commanders in sync during disconnected operations—planned or unplanned.
 
Speakers:
Matthew Medley, Industry Director, Aerospace & Defense - IFS
David Hambling – Moderator, Defense Specialist - Aviation Week Contributor
