GovMilSpace 2025: Confronting Critical National Security Challenges in Defense & Space

GovMilSpace 2025 is fast approaching. In our Defense Daily sessions, industry leadersmilitary strategists, and policymakers will confront the toughest challenges facing defense and space today. The stakes are high—this is where urgent solutions are needed and where critical national security discussions will take place.

In the session Enabling Resiliency in SDA’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture, we discuss the Space Development Agency’s vision for a Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture; notably, can this ambitious plan overcome funding challenges, technical complexities, and the integration of commercial components?

At the same time, an unsettling reliance on a single launch provider is raised in the Diversifying Government & Military Launch Capabilities session. While SpaceX’s dominance has propelled the industry, what happens if technical issues ground its fleet? Is national security prepared for such a scenario, or has over-dependence left us vulnerable?

The evolution of military ground systems is another critical focus in the session The Evolution of Commercial Built Military Ground Systems. In an era defined by NGSO and multi-orbit satellite connectivity, are we building systems capable of meeting the demands of tomorrow’s battlefield—or are we falling behind in this rapidly changing landscape?

These are just a few pressing questions that will take center stage at GovMilSpace. Explore the full program and current speaker roster at www.GovMilSpace.com.
