Past event: MilSatCom USA 2017 Conference

Following its highly successful inaugural event in 2016, we are proud to announce the second annual MilSatCom USA conference which will take place in Arlington, Virginia on 28th-29th June 2017.

With the space and cyberspace domains growing ever more congested, contested, and competitive, ensuring effective resiliency and protection on future MilSatCom systems is more crucial than ever before. The USA MilSatCom acquisition process will also be a key focus with contemporary and crucial issues such as the Wideband AoA and utilisation of ComSatCom being addressed by senior government, military and industry representatives.

Further topics to be addressed include as assessment of the threats facing the space domain such as space congestion and debris, EW, jamming, anti-satellite capabilities and cyber.
