About the 2024 Space Resiliency Summit

TOPICS TO BE COVERED

  • Maintaining space superiority in a new era of strategic competition
  • Guiding DoD Efforts to maintain space dominance in a dynamic strategic environment
  • Reoptimizing the DAF to ensure continued supremacy in the space domain
  • Delivering & sustaining lethal & innovative space capabilities to the warfighter
  • Leveraging commercial tech solutions to bolster space architectures
  • Fielding a resilient space architecture to support future mission needs
  • Operating global space, missile defense, & high-altitude systems to support the Army space vision
  • Providing space-enabled combat effects to joint warfighters
  • Enhancing space domain awareness to ensure secure & sustainable space operations

Amid an increasingly contested space domain, the Department of Defense is determined to ensure the U.S. is postured to maintain its dominance in space. For fiscal year 2025, DoD requested $33.7 billion for space programs, including $2.4 billion for space launch capabilities, $1.5 billion for more resilient position, navigation, and timing, $4.2 billion for more resilient and protected satellite communications, $4.7 billion for new missile warning and tracking architecture, and $12.3 billion for increasing the resiliency of existing DoD space architectures. The 2024 Space Resiliency Summit will convene military, government, industry and academia to highlight current challenges, emerging threats, and innovative solutions in developing resilient space architectures.

As adversaries are expanding capabilities to challenge U.S. assets in space, DoD and the military services are working to secure and enhance space infrastructure and develop robust solutions that can withstand the evolving threats in the space domain. Leading experts and innovators at the event will discuss future of resilient space architectures, the development of proliferated satellite networks, critical commercial partnerships, and advancements in cyber and electronic threat defense. The Summit will feature panels highlighting commercial tech solutions and space domain awareness efforts. Attendees at the 2024 Space Resiliency Summit will have the unique opportunity to gain valuable insights from key decision makers and subject experts on the critical topics affecting the space community and the importance of space dominance in modern warfare.

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summit’s content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the Space community as well as key policy makers across military and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.

Gain Education & Insight: Walk away with knowledge gained from our senior level speakers on some of the complex challenges facing the space community.

Build Partnerships: The agenda is designed to allow for ample networking opportunities and the ability to engage in constructive dialogue among all in attendance.

Influence: Help foster ideas! Share your own insight and knowledge during our interactive sessions. All attendees are encouraged to address our speaker faculty and each other with their questions, comments or ideas.

DSI’s Summit directly supports DoD & Federal Government priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department’s mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time.

DSI’s Summit will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission.

The Summit is open and complimentary to all DoD and Federal employees and is considered an educational training forum.

*Summit is Closed to The Press / No Recordings*
