Mission Systems Symposium
Mission
To bring together Government, industry mission partners, the venture capital community, and technology leaders to accelerate Mission Systems transformation, strengthen collaboration, and deliver warfighting capability faster. The Mission Systems Symposium serves as a forum to communicate strategic direction, explore emerging technologies and acquisition approaches, and foster the partnerships required to deliver integrated, mission-ready capabilities at the speed demanded by today’s operational environment.
Objective
The Mission Systems Symposium is designed to move beyond information sharing and toward meaningful dialogue, actionable outcomes, and enterprise alignment.
Through keynotes, panels, interactive discussions, and focused collaboration, the symposium will:
- Communicate organizational, leadership, and acquisition transformations across the Mission Systems enterprise.
- Align Government and Industry on the cultural, operational, and technological changes required to increase speed, innovation, and mission effectiveness.
- Advance collaboration in emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, digital engineering, commercial technology adoption, and acquisition modernization.
- Identify opportunities to accelerate capability delivery through streamlined processes, modular and open architectures, and stronger Government-Industry partnerships.
- Foster a shared understanding of priorities, challenges, and opportunities to ensure mission success in an increasingly contested and rapidly evolving battlespace.
Join us to shape the future of naval information warfare through technology, industry collaboration, and strategic innovation.
