The forum brings together government, industry, and academia to address regional challenges and advance mission effectiveness and warfighter readiness. The program focuses on cyber, data, Super Intelligence, space, influence, and human performance, including resilient and interoperable architectures, the PACOM Mission Network, zero-trust architectures, SI-enabled decision support, information sharing, and joint and coalition missions. Sessions address MARFORPAC’s pathways for transitioning commercial innovation into operational capabilities; human interoperability and workforce readiness; cyber workforce modernization; AI and resilient communications at the tactical edge; operational technology security; data-centricity and mission-data resilience; defense acquisition and small-business engagement; and data fusion across command and control, cyber, spectrum, and logistics. The program also includes a Super Intelligence challenge evaluating decision-support, targeting, and planning tools against joint warfighting functions.
