Modernizing for Mission Success

  • Panelists:
    • Col. Raj Agrawal, Commander, Mission Delta 2, Space Operations Command, U.S. Space Force
    • Kevin Coggins, Deputy Associate Administrator and Program Manager, Space Communications and Navigation Program (SCaN), NASA
    • Col. Bryon McClain, Program Executive Officer (PEO) for Space Domain Awareness and Combat Power, Space Systems Command
    • Bob Ritchie, Chief Technology Officer, SAIC

Space stakeholders are rich in legacy systems that still have a job to do but are woefully dated. Replacement is not a viable option, time is critical, and the missions being performed are only moving faster. How to modernize on the fly?

This panel will examine this critical challenge through several lenses: civilian space, defense space and intelligence space. Though the missions range from human space flight to command and control on the edge, each stakeholder will examine the need for common ground and common approaches to introducing technology advancements while continuing operations.  Joining these voices and moderating the conversation, SAIC’s CTO Bob Ritchie will represent the viewpoint of an industry partner currently conducting these types of programs as a mission integrator.
