Tactical communications still lean on rigid, hardware-heavy backbones and stove-piped circuits that were never designed for the modern, rapidly evolving threat environments. These legacy architectures often expose the tactical edge to the public internet through brittle IP-based tunnels, creating discoverable attack surfaces vulnerable to kinetic targeting, electronic warfare, and hyper-volumetric cyber attacks.

For commanders operating across DDIL conditions, this fragility is no longer an acceptable risk. It represents a direct threat to C2 survivability and a recognized capability gap for forces operating in contested theaters like the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East.

This webinar will focus on practical questions facing every IT leader responsible for mission-critical comms: how do you maintain consistent security policy, low-latency performance, and C2 continuity when forces are dispersed, transport is unreliable, and the adversary is actively hunting your nodes? Attendees will leave with a framework for evaluating next-generation tactical network architectures against the realities of distributed and expeditionary operations.
