OCTOBER 14TH | 3:00 - 4:00 PM EST

THE FUTURE OF DEFENDING THE HOMELAND

Join us in Booth #2917 at the Walter E Convention Center or watch the livestream below.

This event has concluded.

From hypersonics to UAS swarms, adversaries are fielding weapons that test the limits of traditional missile defense and homeland security strategies. At the same time, electronic warfare, cyber intrusions, and space-based threats add layers of complexity to protecting the homeland. Meeting these challenges requires systems that are not only resilient but also integrated with left-of-launch sensors that can detect, infer, and provide warnings, as well as post-launch sensors, interceptors, and decision-making tools that provide a layered shield that will adapt to address a wide range of evolving threats. In this panel event, Defense News will explore how the U.S. is developing the next generation of homeland defenses designed to meet diverse and rapidly changing challenges.
