Description
Why YOU should plan to participate in PSAR-18:
The precision strike community is fully aware that our Nation faces an extraordinarily dangerous world that is filled with a wide range of threats that continue to proliferate and increase in capability. As this Administration focuses on rebuilding a more lethal Joint Force for major combat in the new strategic environment, we face significant challenges to maintain our global leadership role both now and into the future. Increasingly complex cyberattacks from state and non-state actors, domestic and international terrorism, Russian aggression, North Korean and Iranian nuclear ambitions, and Chinese military modernization that has generated robust anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities are all cause for grave concern. In an era of constrained resources, it is even more imperative today that we ensure that the Department of Defense has the systems it needs to effectively deter and decisively win future conflicts. This will continue to require precision strike engagement across all spectrums of conflict. Further, the Defense Industry team must continue the focus on developing new and also upgrading existing technologies for emerging capabilities, promoting innovative concepts and investing in critical technological modernization while refining our federal acquisition processes.
With the current focus on re-emergence of Great-power Competition, the Precision Strike Association must be ready and has put together a compelling agenda for government, industry, and academia participants engaged in precision strike. Critical topics for this “must attend” Review and discussion by distinguished leaders will characterize the new strategic environment, define the new national security strategy agenda, and address requirements for future conflicts centered on the Strategic and Agile Acquisition Response to the Growing National Security Threat.
