Anything software defined is really a hot topic, and for a lot of reasons, as it brings flexibility into the equation.  There are now entirely flexible satellite architectures and infrastructures powered by software that can redefine networks on the fly.  Listen to Brad Grady discuss the MILSATCOM market, its growth potential and the technology (like software defined) supporting it.  Brad talks about the U.S. government being a significant purchaser of satellite capacity and services and looking to take advantage of software defined capabilities.  Brad also discusses LEO mega constellations, why the addition of more MILSATCOM capacity probably won’t affect the commercial market and the possibility of creating a flexible ground infrastructure that doesn’t really care what data transport path is being offered.

Listen to Colonel Michael Christensen, currently stationed at the Pentagon and serving as the director of test and evaluation for the US Space Force. Discover why it's imperative to transform our testing approach to meet the unique challenges of space. Learn about the significance of integrated testing and why involving real operators in test teams is crucial to ensure testing meets the demands of end operators. Colonel Christensen discusses the importance of modeling and simulation in stress-testing systems before construction begins. He underscores the necessity of collaboration with mission partners to fulfill the critical roles and functions of the Space Force. Additionally, he addresses the difficulty of shifting mindsets to effectively operate in contested environments.
