“Shaping the Future Kill Web: Senior Enlisted Perspectives on the Cyber-Space Nexus”

This theme highlights the critical perspective of Senior Enlisted Leaders (SELs) in bridging the gap between high-level strategic intent and the operational execution of cyber-resilient space power. It emphasizes the “kill web”—a concept where space, cyber, and intelligence capabilities are seamlessly integrated to deliver lethal effects and defend national interests. For the defense industry, this theme underscores the need for “combat-ready” technology that is not just functional, but inherently defensible and capable of being operated by Guardians at the speed of modern conflict.
