DAF PAE C3BM Engagement Day

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center has published a Special Notice announcing a quarterly Engagement Day for the DAF PAE C3BM (Department of Air Force Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Command, Control, Communications and Battle Management) program. This unclassified event is scheduled for Monday, February 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. ET and will be conducted in a virtual format. The engagement session is open to industry partners and other stakeholders interested in learning about the Air Force's command and control capabilities. The notice was posted on January 26, 2026, and invites participants to register and explore potential collaboration opportunities with the DAF PAE C3BM office. This Special Notice does not represent a formal solicitation but rather an informational briefing opportunity.

The primary objective of this Engagement Day is to provide valuable insights into the DAF PAE C3BM mission and to identify pathways for industry engagement and collaboration. Registration must be completed by February 5, 2026, using the provided registration form, though submission does not guarantee attendance confirmation. Interested parties will receive individual confirmation emails by February 6, 2026, with login instructions for the virtual session, and attendees are instructed not to share confirmation details with others. There are no stated eligibility restrictions; the notice welcomes anyone to register, provided they complete the form under their own name. The tentative agenda includes a C3BM welcome, mission overview, and discussion of pathways to engagement, with an additional presentation from a partner service regarding Joint All-Domain Command and Control contributions.
