About this conference
The IDGA Next Generation Missiles and Hypersonics Summit focuses on fielding the next generation of missiles and hypersonic weapons, and building the layered defense to defeat them. For years, these systems remained largely in development but are now transitioning into operational capability, transforming the U.S. Military. Key programs like the Army's Dark Eagle, Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike, Air Force's Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM), and the Golden Dome homeland defense architecture are moving forward with delivery and production. Over two days, senior leaders will discuss offensive capabilities, Golden Dome efforts, modern missile defense strategy, and the expanding role of space sensing in tracking emerging threats. Service program executives and operators will share insights on how these capabilities are fielded and employed, while the test enterprise, national labs, and manufacturing base address the challenge of scaling production. Congressional representatives will provide insight into funding priorities. The event is unclassified (Distribution A level), requires no top secret clearance, and is open to U.S. Nationals only, allowing program managers, engineers, business developers, buyers, builders, and operators to engage in discussions covering strike, sensing, intercept, and the underlying industrial base.
