| Description: |
Presented by Sterling, Dell Technologies, AFCEA &
Industry Partners. AI is only as mission-ready as
the data behind it.
Across space, missile defense and national
security environments, mission-critical data is
often distributed across disconnected systems,
security domains and locations. Turning that data
into operational advantage requires more than
powerful AI models and compute. It requires a
secure, trusted data foundation that maintains
control of mission data while delivering the right
information to the right applications, users and
AI models at the right time.
Join us in Huntsville for an interactive afternoon
focused on how defense and national security
organizations can connect, govern and activate
mission data while maintaining ownership, security
and control.
What You'll Learn
Maintain ownership, control and governance of
mission data
Connect data across siloed systems, security
domains and environments
Securely deliver approved, mission-relevant data
to applications and AI models
Build a scalable, AI-ready foundation from the
data center to the tactical edge
