AFCEA OKC Board of Directors Meeting

Chapter exec meeting to discuss events and chapter matters

The digital transformation of Defence is evolving towards increasingly integrated models, in which the physical and digital dimensions converge into advanced, resilient, data-driven operational ecosystems.In this context, technologies such as 5G and 6G networks, LEO and GEO satellite communications, immersive environments, Digital Twins, Artificial Intelligence and predictive analytics tools represent key enabling factors to ensure information superiority, interoperability and operational continuity within the framework of Multi-Domain Operations.The evolution of telecommunications infrastructures requires hybrid architectures capable of dynamically integrating terrestrial and satellite networks, ensuring "Always On" services even in scenarios characterized by cyber threats, spoofing and jamming activities, or attacks on critical infrastructures. At the same time, quantum technologies, from Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) to post-quantum solutions, are set to play an increasingly important role in protecting communications and national strategic systems.From this perspective, secure and sovereign satellite links are becoming increasingly important for the resilience of the command-and-control chain and for the security of the national system.At the same time, capabilities such as advanced telemedicine, digital logistics and predictive maintenance are evolving from simple support tools into essential components for operational sustainability, personnel protection and asset lifecycle optimization.The event also aims to highlight the role of the national industrial ecosystem, based on collaboration among the Armed Forces, institutions, universities, large enterprises, innovative SMEs and high-tech startups, as an essential element for the development of interoperable and competitive capabilities.During the conference, an integrated vision of future Defence communications will be outlined, in which resilience, interoperability and multi-domain integration represent the main enabling factors for information superiority and strategic competitiveness. The ability to replicate physical assets in virtual environments, simulate complex scenarios and integrate data from different domains makes it possible to strengthen planning, improve coordination and accelerate decision-making processes.The initiative is intended to serve as a high-level forum for discussion among the operational component, industry, academia and institutions, fostering a concrete dialogue on the future development of military communications and the sustainability of technological capabilities in the medium and long term.The event will take place on 2 July 2026 at the Italian Army Transmission Command in Cecchignola.The following participants have currently confirmed their attendance: Italian Army General Staff - VI Department, Teledife, Transmission Command, CNR Turin, Telespazio, Fata Informatica, Sistemi & Automazione and BIP S.p.A.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the workplace, but technical skills no longer ensure career success. As AI automates everything the true "currency" of professional growth is shifting toward uniquely human capabilities - leadership, adaptability, critical thinking, relationship building, communication, and continuous learning.Come learn how professionals at every stage of their careers can remain relevant, resilient, and valuable in an AI-enabled world. Dewayne will share practical insights on building career capital, leveraging AI as a force multiplier, and developing the skills that technology cannot replace.This will be followed by questions and answers. Feel free to come, bring your lunch and learn about where things are headed.
