C2 and technology-based cooperation - creating common operational pictures between different armed forces branches and also civilian services, the role of AI in supporting / enabling said COPs and its influence towards the goal of SDD. This allows us to explore the existing challenges when trying to create a comprehensive COP and discuss ways of crossing the digital and organisational divide.Data interoperability for decision dominance - this panel will tackle how large organisations like militaries approach data interoperability and how that data interoperability is crucial for making decisions. Topics include; what are the fundamentals of a data layers, data fabrics and data meshes? What are mechanisms to federated data across different, command echelons, releasabilities, classifications? How action officers across interact with their organisations data ecosystem to provide pertinent information to decision makers.Assuring and Securing Technical Capability, Availability, and MPE Inclusion With all United States Mission Partners - How can the Combatant Command translate lessons learned into programmatic success and lean forward toward a steady state of MPE efficacy and sustainability?Cyber WorkforceFederated Mission NetworkingSoftware as a service and outsourcing of IT functions - initial experiencesZero Trust in a Mission Partner EnvironmentElectronic WarfareArtificial IntelligenceOther

Additionally or instead of the above, you can reply to a problem statement with a technology solution. If you selected sessions above, please submit a new abstract to also reply to one of these problem statements.

Replying to the problem statement from U-A A6: Despite intel reports and subsequent planning assumptions that the US and its partners will likely operate in a Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent and Limited (DDIL) environment if we go kinetic against our near peers, the Department of Air Force (DAF) doubled down on investments in Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (IC4ISR) capabilities and networking technology. What **non-technical** and low/no cost Continuous Operations (CONOPS) does industry propose to efficiently and effectively conduct operations in a DDIL environment? Instead of using a new technology, what is something we could use that we already have in new ways?Use of quantum encryption to potentially remove the requirements for hardware TACLAN devices providing Type 1 encryption - Y2Q, or the realisation of wide spread quantum computing is quickly approaching. Most military organisations currently rely on physical bulk (type-1) encryptors. These devices will quickly become obsolete as Y2Q is realised. What solutions exist in industry to facilitate secure communication post Y2Q and how do these solutions pivot away from reliance on physical devices to make them more available and more seamlessly facilitate emergent operations.Zero Trust enabling Data Centricity - European mission partner environments currently rely on separate federated networks with distinct logical and security boundaries. As all partners shift toward zero trust principles and strive towards a data centric sharing paradigm identity becomes a unique problem. Country A might have a trusted source of identity that is separate from Country Bs; this construct hinders zero trust alignment. What solutions, both technological and administrative, exist in industry to solve the problem of identity amongst peers who are developing distinct environments to share data and applications?
