On Sept. 22- 23, 2015, at The Mary M. Gates Learning Center in Alexandria, VA, Defense Strategies Institute will bring together stakeholders across the U.S. Military, Government, Academic, and Private Sector to discuss and debate some of the most challenging subjects involved in successfully bringing the network to the tactical edge.
Washington, DC, July 09, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Defense Strategies Institute will host its upcoming 4th Military Tactical Communications Summit September 22-23, 2015 in Alexandria, VA.
The network of ‘tomorrow’ for the tactical edge should support a broad range of operational conditions and deliver robust, reliable communications to all echelons and various mission partners throughout all stages of any operation, in any environment.
DSI’s upcoming Summit recognizes that in a field such as tactical communications, where there are multiple agents acting in tandem, it is extremely important that all involved are working towards a cohesive and holistic approach. To this end identifying the parts of the communications process that are the most suitable to maximize efficiency and effectiveness is paramount. “The Summit is designed to offer a full spectrum viewpoint towards tactical comms. We have created a Summit that will bring together a variety of stakeholders in order to build out two days of discussion and debates that tackle many of the areas involved in enhancing effective and efficient tactical communications,” stated Monica Mckenzie, Senior Partner, Defense Strategies Institute.
“While the field has seen an immense amount of ebbing and flowing, we believe that truly great advancements are on the horizon….and this is why our Senior Partners decided to lend our expertise towards creating a forum that can bring together stakeholders across the continuum of the community,” Lisa Madison, Director of Communications, DSI, stated.

1.) Bringing common data and operating environments to the tactical edge
