Defense

From the Global War on Terrorism to rebalancing in the Asia-Pacific region to the exponentially growing challenges of cyber defense and deterrence worldwide, the responsibilities of defense organizations are monumental and not always aligned. Solutions require a clear understanding of needs and issues, and ultimately, on developing innovative and affordable products, services and strategies. Success is only possible through collaboration and information sharing among industry, defense departments and governments across the globe.

AFCEA's defense programs are uniquely structured to meet these needs through networking opportunities that include continuing education, thought leadership, conferences, scholarships, product and service expositions, community service, committee involvement, chapter engagement and leadership opportunities.

Defense Event Details

USINDOPACOM Coalition Interoperability Forum
04/16/2019 - 04/17/2019
Hale Ikena, Fort Shafter, HI

Future conflicts involving the United States will require regional coalitions of like-minded, capable and interoperable partners. Efforts to achieve this in a coalition environment have stagnated in the past 14 years. The U.S. needs to energize the community of interest, including organizations in industry, academia, government and military, to accelerate these efforts. USINDOPACOM is hosting this event to discuss major challenges impacting coalition interoperability to rapidly field warfighting capabilities.

Homeland Security Conference
04/22/2019 - 04/24/2019
Ronald Reagan Building, Washington, DC

More than any other operations, homeland security missions call for coordinated and end-to-end collaboration. Success depends on preparing for the unknowable, preventing the unthinkable and planning recovery from the unimaginable. To assist in the process, AFCEA International brings together the people in charge of ensuring success--from subject matter experts to frontline responders--for three days of open discussion about the various aspects of homeland security.
