Why You Should Attend this Year’s Summit

The pursuit of FutureG (6G) is crucial to ensuring U.S. technological power and remains designated as a critical technology area by OUSW R&E. 5G already offers the speed, bandwidth, and low latency essential for increasingly complex demands like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), positioning FutureG as the digital nervous system for Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). To maintain the tactical edge, greater cooperation between the private sector and the government is required to rapidly integrate these capabilities.

Attendees will have unparalleled access to the change-makers who are shaping the FutureG strategy and translating resilient, domestic innovation into warfighting advantage. Senior leaders at this forum will address key initiatives, including:

• Expeditionary and Tactical Use (ETU): Detailing strategies for extending reliable 5G/FutureG connectivity to forward operating bases and challenging operational setting.
• Open Architectures & Standardization: Focusing on the continued development and deployment of Open Radio Networks (O-RAN) to ensure multi-vendor interoperability and cyber-resilience across the Joint Force.
• Next-Generation Network Development: Offering insight into the key initiatives laying the groundwork for a modernized network, from hardware innovation to effective spectrum management strategies.

Join us at the 3rd Annual FutureG for Defense & Warfare Summit to convene with senior leaders from the DoD, Federal Government, Industry, and Academia in a dynamic ‘Town-Hall’ style event. This forum seeks to detail the strategic objectives and goals around the full-scale integration of secure, resilient commercial and military network technologies in support of the Warfighter, ensuring an open and honest dialogue around the critical efforts to operationalize 5G and chart the research roadmap toward 6G.
