Chapter exec meeting to discuss events and chapter matters

In the context of digital transformation and the growing complexity of operational scenarios, critical communications and autonomous mobility are central elements for security, resilience, and operational effectiveness across multiple domains: land, sea, air, space, and cyber. The conference proposed by the Rome Chapter of AFCEA International aims to examine the new technological and operational challenges related to the management of secure and autonomous networks, capable of ensuring continuity and reliability even in degraded environments or high-threat scenarios. The integration of unmanned systems, 5G/6G technologies, LEO satellites, SDR, and artificial intelligence makes it possible to create cognitive infrastructures able to adapt, predict, and optimize in real time.The networks of the future will no longer be merely data transport infrastructures, but intelligent and autonomous ecosystems: digital organisms that learn from information flows and react dynamically to operational conditions. Intelligent automation, combined with paradigms such as Software Defined Networking and network slicing, makes it possible to orchestrate multi-cloud resources, manage latency, and ensure end-to-end security even in complex and distributed environments. The ability to jam communications is becoming a distinguishing element of Cyber Electro Magnetic Activities (CEMA), which are essential in modern Multi-Domain Operations (MDO), together with the need to reduce latency.The conference will provide an overview of the enabling technologies for defence and mission-critical infrastructures, comparing experiences from the military, institutional, academic, and industrial worlds in order to outline development prospects toward a cognitive, resilient, and autonomous network model, capable of supporting intelligent mobility and the multi-domain operations of the future. Speakers will include representatives from the National Armaments Directorate, the Italian Army General Staff, the Signal Command, Leonardo, Thales Alenia Space Italia, Elettronica, Telespazio, Larimart, Maticmind, Polo Marconi, and the CNR in Turin.
