I attended this year’s Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Innovate Technology Forum in Huntsville, Alabama, where I had the opportunity to engage with government and industry leaders focused on advancing the future of missile defense and national security.
The forum brought together experts from across the defense community to discuss the technologies and strategies shaping tomorrow’s mission environment. Throughout the event, I connected with government stakeholders, industry partners and technology leaders to better understand the evolving operational challenges facing the missile defense enterprise.

Across many of these conversations, several priorities consistently emerged:
- Enabling secure information sharing across multiple security domains
- Strengthening cyber resilience against evolving threats
- Leveraging artificial intelligence to accelerate decision-making
- Applying advanced analytics to improve mission effectiveness
These priorities closely align with the work AIS is doing every day to support defense and intelligence customers through trusted cyber capabilities and mission-focused technologies.
During the forum, I had the opportunity to discuss how several AIS solutions help address these challenges, including SecureView® and Cross Domain Solutions for secure data sharing, Red Team and adversary emulation services that improve mission assurance and SIGINT and data aggregation platforms that enable analysts to rapidly integrate, correlate, and act on mission-critical information.
Building Relationships and Supporting the Mission
Events like the MDA Innovate Technology Forum provide valuable opportunities to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas and better understand the operational priorities driving future missile defense capabilities. Attending on behalf of AIS reinforced how our technologies and expertise continue to align with the evolving needs of the Department of Defense and the broader national security community.
Thank you to the MDA for hosting an outstanding event and to everyone who took the time to meet with the AIS team. We look forward to continuing these conversations and helping deliver innovative technologies that support mission success.
