Operating across the Indo-Pacific region means contending with the vastness of the theater, limited and degraded infrastructure, and the reality of a contested information environment. From low-bandwidth conditions across Pacific island chains to deliberate electronic warfare attacks from near-peer adversaries, Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) communications are now a baseline planning factor.
This panel brings together Joint leaders, technologists, and mission partners to explore how the DoW is ensuring mission command in DDIL environments. The discussion will focus on emerging C2 and network solutions, resilient architectures, and the strategic imperative to decentralize decision-making at the edge.
Key Topics:
• DDIL realities in the Indo-Pacific battlespace
• Distributed Mission Command and decentralized control
• Multi-path communications and transport layer redundancy
• AI and Cyber needs for comms prioritization in degraded conditions
• Enabling coalition interoperability
• Tactical edge technologies for autonomy and data survivability
