The newly established US SPACE Force is posturing to be the “1st digital service”. It was developed to maintain, protect and expand the US  fleet of advanced military satellites, serving as the backbone for military operations worldwide. These assets enable direct communications across the military community to provide rapid responses to real-life and training scenarios to eliminate/deter future threats against our adversaries. To maintain Space Superiority, the SPACE FORCE and its Guardians need to have space situational    -awareness of current and future threats and incorporate developing technology trends (AI, blockchain, quantum computing, data transfer, interplanetary file systems, etc.) while working alongside Industry. One of the immediate challenges is how to become more rapid, agile and threat informed to keep up with our near competitors while implementing DevSecOps in our S/W processes to achieve true “Continuous Authorization.”

The Space Acquisition Panel comprises senior Acquisition decision-makers discussing initiatives such as SPACEWERX, Space Pitch Day, Space Enterprise Consortium, acquisition reform, and other better buying solutions to accelerate technology procurement while strengthening our competitive edge. We invite you to join in and listen and broadening your experience by engaging with the selected panel of SMEs as we discuss ways the Industry and Space Acquisition leaders can work together to better serve, engage, and support end-users. We aim to discuss the following topics: 

• Integration of Space Development Agency into Space Force by Oct 1, 2022
• Space Acquisition/Policy Reform and new Procurement Initiatives 
• Strategic Reorganization Efforts and Leadership roles
• Integrating Disruptive Technologies using Agile methodology
• Building Trust with Industry
