Registration Opens for 4th Annual MilSatCom USA Conference, Returning to Virginia, USA This June

London, United Kingdom, February 06, 2019 –(PR.com)– With the US space sector set to be transformed, as the new sixth branch of the military “Space Command” is developed; the AEHF and WGS reach maturity and the initial pilots following the Wideband AoA become more advanced, there has never been a more vital time to explore the evolution of US SATCOM capability.

With this in mind, SMi Group is delighted to announce the return of the MilSatCom USA conference for its 4th annual year to Arlington, VA, USA this June, set to provide a refined focus on the US communications market, and address how these critical programmes are developing. The two-day event will explore the resiliency of systems, their integration to ground terminals, as well as wider efforts to optimise bandwidth utilisation via international partnerships.

2019 Conference Highlights:

� Engage with stakeholders from across the US Space Enterprise including USAF, US Navy, US Army, US DoD, Defence Innovation Unit, US COCOMS, NRL and DISA
· Learn how the future US Space Force and other major policy changes are driving reformation of the US approach to military communications
· Discover how MilSatCom programmes across allied partners can drive collaboration and partnerships for future strategies

The need to harmonise collaboration of industry and defence has never been higher.
