Traditional budgeting plans for developing, training, and deploying the latest applications. However, these factors may generalize the cost of long-term sustainment and transformation needed for agile adaptation to technology disruptions. When planning for an artificial intelligence (AI) solution, disruption should be an expected cost driver throughout its lifecycle. The increasing interconnectivity of the rapidly growing enterprise AI ecosys...

Winning With the Network: Securing Data in Motion to the Tactical EdgeAdversary capabilities in electronic warfare, cyber, and advanced kinetic weapons will make it difficult to sustain a secure, reliable network that can support universal sensor-to-shooter connection and rapid decision making. This session will explore how DoD and commercial partners are creating a resilient, robust network by taking advantage of technologies such as 5G, mes...

During Potomac Officers Club’s 2021 Intelligence Summit, notable federal and industry leaders will discuss current priorities and programs for intelligence agencies and new initiatives for the future.The intelligence community's landscape is in constant flux due to the development of revolutionary or innovative technology.
