Precision Strike Technology Symposium (PSTS-18)

Description

Are you an inspirational leader who is ready to participate in PSTS-18?  As DoD faces the realities of a changing world and focuses its attention to its major competitors China and Russia, the precision strike community must address enhanced lethality and modernization of key precision engagement capabilities for urgent execution of the National Defense Strategy. The theme Sharpening America’s Competitive Edge with High Speed Precision Engagement demands serious and immediate technological innovation.  PSTS-18 will allow the precision strike community the opportunity to pursue many new challenges and concerns by showcasing focus areas related to:

• Meet Major Threats & Gaps with Technologies for High-Speed Precision Engagement 
• Regain Overmatch with Enhanced Lethality
• Deliver New Capabilities at the Speed of Technology
• Services’ Policy and Posture and Modernization Priorities to meet the Threat
• Multi-Domain Operations / Over-the-Horizon Targeting 
• Insights into the Kill Chain
• U.S. Hypersonics Landscape—Contested Environment Operations and Challenges 
• Artificial Intelligence on the Edge—Implications for Precision Strike
• Strategic Readiness/Nuclear Deterrence
