SMi reports: Clare Grason, Chief, Commercial Satellite Communications Office, US Air Force Space Command, will be attending and speaking at the MilSatCom USA conference in Arlington this June.
The recent congressional authorization of the US Space Force makes now a critical time to discuss the future of MILSATCOM.
It’s been 72 years since a new military service was created in the United States – that being the US Air Force in 1947 – which makes the conception of the Space Force even more exciting.
MilSatCom USA will meet in Arlington, Virginia, on the 24th – 25th June 2020 to explore the emergence of the US Space Force and analyse how this will impact SATCOM as the US DoD invests heavily in capabilities to achieve and maintain overmatch against its adversaries.
As such, SMi Group are delighted to announce that Ms Clare Grason, Chief, Commercial Satellite Communications Office, US Air Force Space Command, will be attending MilSatCom USA to give a presentation on “COMSATCOM for the Warfighter: Commercial SATCOM Into Military Communications Architectures.” Her presentation will cover:
- Way ahead for transforming COMSATCOM capabilities and balancing with sovereign capabilities.
- Building a network of partners: working with the COMSATCOM office.
- Mitigating resilience concerns.
- CSCO’s future COMSATCOM strategy.
Clare Grason is responsible for delivering COMSATCOM capabilities to support the joint warfighter, federal agencies and international partners. Her portfolio includes the Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services (EMSS) Program Office, the EMSS Capabilities Office and the COMSATCOM Solutions Group.
