Overview:

Summit Announcement – FY 2025 Missile Defense Agency Next-Generation Missile Defense Summit In Support of Golden Dome for America

The Summit will be held on April 29, 2025 at the Von Braun Complex III on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. This will be a collaborative effort with the Space Force. The goal of the Summit is to equip non-traditional and industry partners with the knowledge and understanding of MDA's and Space Force's role in Golden Dome for America, empowering them to take concrete actions that support and align with government requirements. In addition to requirements there will be general sessions (e.g.

acquisition, contracting, prototyping, testing, etc.). There will be no planned One-on-One sessions, or panels during the event. Non-Traditional Contractors are highly encouraged to attend as MDA is extremely interested in “outside the box” thinking and we believe that non-traditional contractors are vital to shaping the future of missile defense. While the summit will focus on presentations through a general session, it presents a unique opportunity to network with key stakeholders and contribute to a safer tomorrow.

In addition to the Services, other DoD Agencies, Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Industry, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and University Affiliated Research Centers (UARC), are invited to attend the Summit.

The Summit session will be held starting at 09:00 AM CST at the UNCLASSIFIED level.
