The global threat landscape is transforming at breakneck speed. To outpace peer adversaries leveraging Artificial Intelligence, unmanned systems, and advanced cyber warfare, the Department of the Air Force (DAF) must fundamentally shift how it fights. The goal for 2030 is clear: a fully synchronized, AI-orchestrated operational environment that connects sensors to shooters instantly, sharing data seamlessly from Enterprise to Orbit.

Mr. Scott Heitmann (Department of the Air Force CTO) unveils the DAF’s strategic blueprint to secure our technological advantage for the next fight. Attendees will get an inside look at the transition from building today's "Digital Runway" to launching a fully integrated "Digital Constellation." We will dive deep into the core strategic "North Stars" guiding our enterprise-wide digital transformation:

• Warfighter Lethality: Empowering Airmen with cutting-edge software and AI-driven decision advantage at the tactical edge.
• Ubiquitous Connectivity: Delivering seamless, resilient, and secure communications—anytime, anywhere across the globe.
• Cyber Optimization & Resilience: Fortifying defenses and reducing operational risk through a robust Zero Trust architecture.

From Vision to Execution
A vision for 2030 remains a fantasy unless we aggressively dismantle the roadblocks we face today. By establishing the ultimate enterprise architecture in this briefing, we provide the foundational lead-in for the upcoming CTO Panel discussion—where the conversation will pivot to address current operational realities and the overarching imperatives required to eliminate "friction at the edge."

Whether you are an IT professional, a cyber operator, or a mission commander, attend this session to understand the baseline architecture of our future force and prepare for the deeper technical discussions to follow on how we make this vision a reality.
