SPONSOrS ANd EXhIBITOrS:
day One | 27th June 2018
dear Colleague,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join us at MilSatCom USA 2018 taking	
place on the 27th-28th June, 2018 in Arlington, VA.
Now in its 3rd year, MilSatCom USA continues as a leading event for U.S.
government and industry experts, as well as international allies, focusing on
the	 defense	 communication	 satellite	 segment.	 Having	 shared	 a	 keynote	
address	 at	 the	 inaugural	 event	 in	 2016,	 it	 is	 a	 pleasure	 to	 return	 as	 the	
conference chair for day 1 of this year’s event.
With	 the	 FY18	 National	 Defence	 Authorization	 Act	 (NDA	 Act)	 promising	
‘Fundamental	Reform	of	National	Security	Space’	as	well	as	the	Wideband	
Analysis	of	Alternatives	(AoA)	expected	to	conclude	in	the	fi	rst	half	of	the	year,	
MilSatCom USA will provide the perfect forum to address pressing issues facing
the future of U.S. MilSatCom programmes.
This year’s conference agenda has been carefully put together, drawing on
leading experts’ thoughts and aspirations, to ensure the very best opportunities
to	benchmark	and	learn	from	strategy	and	engineering	leaders.	
We	 have	 invited	 a	 number	 of	 infl	uential	 government	 leaders	 and	 expect	
the turnout to be even better than last year. As always, the event will be
structured	so	as	to	allow	for	maximum	interaction	between	senior	offi	cials	and	
the	audience.	In	addition,	this	year	will	introduce	a	networking	reception	at	
the	end	of	day	1,	offering	further	opportunities	for	attendees	to	network,	share	
and learn from peers.
I urge you to join us this year and very much hope to see you in June 2018 to
participate	alongside	an	array	of	likeminded	international	experts.

    day One |27th June 2018 dear Colleague, It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join us at MilSatCom USA 2018 taking place on the 27th-28th June, 2018 in Arlington, VA. Now in its 3rd year, MilSatCom USA continues as a leading event for U.S. government and industry experts, as well as international allies, focusing on the defense communication satellite segment. Having shared a keynote address at the inaugural event in 2016, it is a pleasure to return as the conference chair for day 1 of this year’s event. With the FY18 National Defence Authorization Act (NDA Act) promising ‘Fundamental Reform of National Security Space’ as well as the Wideband Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) expected to conclude in the fi rst half of the year, MilSatCom USA will provide the perfect forum to address pressing issues facing the future of U.S. MilSatCom programmes. This year’s conference agenda has been carefully put together, drawing on leading experts’ thoughts and aspirations, to ensure the very best opportunities to benchmark and learn from strategy and engineering leaders. We have invited a number of infl uential government leaders and expect the turnout to be even better than last year. As always, the event will be structured so as to allow for maximum interaction between senior offi cials and the audience. In addition, this year will introduce a networking reception at the end of day 1, offering further opportunities for attendees to network, share and learn from peers. I urge you to join us this year and very much hope to see you in June 2018 to participate alongside an array of likeminded international experts.
