Session Description

Insights from the DOD's 5G Challenges are shaping a resilient 6G strategy and continued collaboration between industry and academia is vital for achieving FutureG goals.

With CUDU set to transform military operations with advanced capabilities like real-time data sharing and enhanced situational awareness through Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), balancing the benefits with security risks involves robust cybersecurity and ongoing threat assessments.
