Attendees of this year’s conference will also get the chance to hear from the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) - the center of technical excellence for developing, acquiring, fielding and sustaining US military space systems. SMC will be delivering two presentations on their new "go fast" procurement efforts and reorganisation of "SMC 2.0."

Presentation 1) US Enterprise Communications
• System enterprise – moving ops from single purpose SATCOM to in depth, heterogenous service

· Flexible enterprise including terminals, networks, management and control exploiting flexible “pool” capacity access via commercial and purpose-built space capacity blends
· Advanced Business Concepts to integrate purpose built and commercial products within common resource pool
• Pool benefits to the warfighter:
· Reliable assured access and surge support
· Higher resiliency
· Better affordability
• Timelines for SpEC OT terminal and enterprise prototyping and delivery in the mid-2020’s
