Mission Capabilities drives efforts to compete with adversaries through the development of capabilities that support the joint warfighter including, but not limited to, fires, command and control, logistics, and capabilities that will drive information advantage. Mission Capabilities coordinates these efforts through multiple programs with independent pathways for industry participation in experimentation, prototypes, and capabilities that explore new concepts. This TEM will help describe the future operating environment and technical challenges, while providing participants a better understanding of ASW(MC)’s efforts, vision, threats, technical priorities, capability challenges, and areas that need private sector support. There will be a networking break to talk with government representatives and other industry representatives at the end of the day.
