As the space domain continues to grow even more congested, contested, and competitive, the need to ensure effective resiliency and protection on future MilSatCom systems is more crucial than ever before. The 2nd MilSatCom USA conference returns to provide a high-level forum for the US SatCom community to discuss how further comprehensive collaboration can be beneficial to all parties and stakeholders. The event will be organized by the SMi Group who are the organizers of Global MilSatCom event. MilSatCom USA will take place on June 28th and 29th 2017 at the Sheraton Pentagon City, Arlington, VA.
Following last year’s successful inaugural event, this year’s show will feature presentations, panel discussions, and an exclusive pre-conference workshop led by a line-up of prominent military and defense industry experts. The 2017 agenda has been curated to highlight and to address key aspects of protected SatCom. Key themes will include the wideband AoA and the utilization of ComSatCom, the direction of US space programs and operational perspectives, strategic international allied collaborations, as well as technical insights on future MilSatCom systems.
