Each roundtable will be led by a subject matter expert, who will facilitate honest discussions between the key stakeholders in each field. Each roundtable leader will summarize the main findings and present them to the audience. The roundtables will take place in the main plenary session room.

TRANSFORMING C4ISR CAPABILITY
Future all domain warfare requires the modernization of C4ISR capability and a transition to a system of systems.

• What solutions and technologies should be adopted to transform C2 and accelerate decision-making?
• What are some of the challenges of implementing a system of systems design or JADC2 architecture for future warfare?

Manned-Unmanned Mix of Capability For Future Joint Warfare

The future force structure will see a combination of manned, optionally manned, unmanned, and autonomous technologies.

• What are some of the challenges of integrating a manned-unmanned mix of capability?
• What solutions are required to enhance information integration and introduce autonomy at scale?

Cyber Resilience in The Information Age

While digitization of the armed forces is inevitable and presents various advantages, it is also paired with risks.

• How can we ensure that systems are cyber resilient by design?
• How can we strengthen cyber resilience and protect critical data assets from malicious attacks?
• What processes are required to leverage open systems architecture to enable rapid updates to platforms and technologies?

Opportunities For Start-Ups To Work With The DoD

Innovation at the speed of relevance will require the armed forces to work with dual-use, scaling-up, and start-up companies.

• What are some of the challenges that start-ups face when working in defense?
• How can we overcome these challenges?
• How can the armed forces attract innovators and encourage joint experimentation and R&D?
