Huge kudos to the AFCEA PACIFIC NORTHWEST CHAPTER and AFCEA International for hosting a great exchange between government and industry. Thank you to my esteemed panelists, COL Rett Burroughs PMP, MAMH, MASS, COL (Ret) Henry I. B. "HIB" McNeilly, and COL (Ret) Jay Chapman for their contribution to a great conversation about how we can do better to support the mission.

AFCEA TechNet Pacific Northwest 2025 was a success! As always, I'd like to thank the leadership at T-Mobile for allowing me to participate and volunteer to be a part of AFCEA PACIFIC NORTHWEST CHAPTER. The work we have done to connect the military with industry to solve problems, innovate and ideate is one of the highlights of my career. I'd also like to extend my sincere thanks to RDML Mark Sucato from Commander Navy Region Northwest for accepting to be one of our Keynote speakers at this year's TechNet. It was an honor to hear you speak and to learn more about the unique needs and perspective of the Navy mission in the Pacific. Craig Martinez, what you have helped create in T-Priority in support of our military and first responders is very exciting. Thank you so much for coming out to speak on behalf of T-Mobile at this event. For those who couldn't make it to our 2025 TechNet PNC, I hope you will join us next year! David M.

Had the distinct pleasure this week providing one of the keynote addresses at this year's AFCEA TechNet Pacific Northwest (special thanks to Jeffrey Neal, Brandy Black and Carla Montrose of T-Mobile for facilitating my participation). The Navy Region Northwest team has been quietly working on an integrated base defense strategy incorporating a mix of multi-spectral sensing, semi-autonomous vehicles and Counter-Unmanned Aerial System technology integrated via private 5G networks. This strategy builds on our current cyber defense efforts and runs parallel to work developing both a region-wide integrated data strategy and enclave-specific resilient energy infrastructure. While we're already experimenting with many of these technologies...Naval Air Station Whidbey Island currently hosts the largest private 5G network in DoD...integrating them in a tactically useful way has incredible potential for protecting complex and dispersed infrastructure. This week's TechNet was the first time we've discussed the concept in public, but it's the right time as we enter the next development phase. Counter to DoD's traditional "hit a home run on the first pitch" acquisition aspiration, we're focusing on grassroots development via experimentation with a mix of existing and new partners. The divers base environments defy easy solutions, but we'd rather be part of the future than run over by it!
