1. INTRODUCTION

The office for the DoD Chief Information Office (CIO) Command, Control, Communications, and Infrastructure (C3I) and Office Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) for Research and Engineering (R&E) would like to invite you to participate in the 5G Transmission Security (TRANSEC) Industry Day on 02-03 March 2023 at the MITRE Corporation’s McLean campus. During this event, DoD CIO C3I and OUSD(R&E) will share the objectives of developing a 5G TRANSEC framework leveraging 3GPP-compliant 5G interference mitigation techniques for tactical use cases. In addition, during registration, vendors can opt into private sessions with the Government. This invitation provides companies with an opportunity to join in person to present their TRANSEC / Anti-Jam (AJ) / Low Probability – (LPx) (where x = detection (D), intercept (I), and geolocation (G)) solutions in a “one-on-one session” to the Government. Vendors should make it clear whether they plan to present UNCLASSIFIED or (up to) SECRET information. Both sessions will be available options. There will be sufficient time given to industry participants to present their solutions, products, and/or demonstrations of 5G-related TRANSEC technologies. Any attendees wishing to present material will need to get approval of their material beforehand. All costs associated with these presentations will be at the interested party’s expense.
