Industry into the fight! In 2025, MARFORPAC had 5 experiments in Balikatan. Because of the February 2025 Industry / MARFORPAC teaming event in Hawaii under Project Dynamis, we will have well over 3 times that amount for Balikatan 26 and significant spinoffs of APFIT, CRADAs and other contracted industry engagements with our Joint Partners. This TechNet session will outline opportunities in FY 26 to demonstrate agentic AI, JFN and IMN integration, low-bandwidth implementation in the Pacific Island chains and EMSO and Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) communications . The discussion will accelerate Industry-MARFORPAC teaming in emerging C2 and network solutions, resilient architectures, and the strategic imperative to decentralize decision-making at the edge.
Agenda topics will include:
Opening Comments – Col Hussey
A review of the last year's immersive facilitated MARFORPAC Project Dynamis Sprint, reverse Industry Day, and PACT conference sessions with industry, review of select RFI results, CRADAs, and APFIT proposals – all because of the Project Dynamis community of interest. – Mr. Sholtis, Mr. Johnson
At the end of this session, we’ll leave TECHNET with a plan for ammunition (resources) and what targets (technology gaps). Just don’t forget your camouflage paint!
