The AFCEA International Scott-St. Louis Chapter is excited to announce the 2026 AFCEA TechNet Mid-America Conference is an in-person event! This two-day program, taking place June 24-25, 2026, will feature training opportunities, a career fair, and an immersive exhibit hall chock full of information about the latest Information Technology (IT) tools, trends, and innovations. In addition, attendees can take advantage of a variety of opportunities to join in discussions and connect with peers.Our conference theme, "Resilient Mobility: Securing Global Logistics in an Age of Hybrid Threats", reflects the reality that logistics is a contested mission. Adversaries target the deployment and distribution enterprise because it supports every joint and coalition operation. They can disrupt movement, deny access, corrupt data, or slow decision cycles, so mobility success depends on both physical execution and trusted digital systems.Scott Air Force Base sits at the center of that mission. Scott AFB hosts teams responsible for global mobility planning, command and control, communications, and enterprise IT that connects the force. The St. Louis region also includes key partners that build and sustain capabilities that enable movement, power projection, and readiness, and when the mobility network is stressed, the impact is felt across on-base operations and the broader Midwest logistics and transportation ecosystem.Hybrid threats increase the risk by blending cyber attacks, information operations, insider risk, supply chain disruption, and pressure on critical infrastructure. Threat actors probe the seams between bases, carriers, networks, vendors, and data sources, aiming to degrade mission systems, manipulate logistics data, and disrupt communications. Our conference theme aligns to what the Scott AFB and St. Louis communities do best -bringing together warfighters, enterprise IT, cyber, engineering, industry, and academia to strengthen resilience through redundancy, visibility, secure interoperability, and rapid recovery across the end to end chain.

Get a practical, architectural-level look at how organizations are securing the data behind AI to enable real-time, mission critical decision-making, with insight into real-world architectures, common failure points and the proven approaches to securing trusted data for AI.

This year, the AFCEA Rome Chapter chose the Thales Alenia Space Smart Space Factory to organize a visit for its members to a cutting-edge infrastructure designed to support the development and production of future space platforms.During the visit, which took place on 19 June, participants had the opportunity to learn more about the concept of a "flexible factory", designed to adapt to different application areas and to move beyond the traditional approach based on production lines dedicated to a single product. In this context, the Smart Factory represents a modular and reconfigurable environment, capable of responding rapidly to the needs of new space programmes.In particular, a significant production pipeline was presented, aimed at increasing data transmission capacity to Earth and operational autonomy in orbit.During the visit, innovative projects and future initiatives focused on space exploration were also presented.A distinctive feature of the facility is the presence of joint laboratories, known as Space Joint Labs, designed to foster collaboration with small and medium-sized enterprises, future startups and university research centres, creating an ecosystem open to innovation.From an infrastructure perspective, the Smart Factory is equipped with some of the most advanced testing facilities in Europe. These include:- a large thermal chamber capable of simulating the extreme temperature conditions typical of space;- a large anechoic chamber, currently the largest in Europe, for electromagnetic testing;- advanced tools for virtual and physical testing, including integrated simulation systems and digital twin techniques.In addition, innovative solutions for monitoring and controlling production processes were presented, including "control tower" systems for centralized activity management and automated technologies for satellite integration and testing.During the tour of the facility, the experts from Thales Alenia Space - whom the Association thanks for their kind welcome - illustrated the main activities of the Smart Factory with expertise and availability, providing AFCEA participants with a concrete insight into the challenges and opportunities linked to the new space economy.
