Join us on Dec. 18 for an exclusive webinar that explores the critical intersection of commercial space innovation and defense sector transformation.
The rapid evolution of commercial space technologies is reshaping the boundaries of national security. From advanced satellite constellations to resilient communication systems, venture-backed startups are pioneering innovations that could redefine how the Department of Defense achieves its mission. But navigating the Pentagon’s complex procurement process, ensuring compatibility with legacy systems, and addressing security concerns present significant hurdles for non-traditional players.
Discussion Topics:
- The U.S. Space Force’s priorities in leveraging commercial space capabilities to enhance strategic operations.
- Key challenges in integrating innovative technologies into national security frameworks.
- Strategies for startups and VC-backed ventures to break into the defense market.
