Webinar on the resilience of military logistics — Breaking Defense

Breaking Defense will hold an online webinar on October 21, 2026, on building military logistics networks capable of operating in contested environments. It is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time and 11:00 a.m. U.S. Pacific Time.

The digital foundation of logistics

The program will discuss why logistics in contested environments has become a more urgent operational challenge. It will address not only the movement of fuel, spare parts, and ammunition, but also the maintenance of the digital infrastructure that enables commanders to track the location and technical condition of resources and determine priority tasks.

The webinar will examine the capabilities of software-defined systems to improve the real-time visibility, responsiveness, and survivability of logistics networks. The importance of resilient communications capable of adapting to spectrum use in supporting logistics operations under difficult conditions will be a separate topic.

The announced topics include smart warehouses, remote updates, and maintenance based on the actual condition of equipment. Participants will also discuss the use of artificial intelligence at the network edge, which can help commanders prioritize logistics decisions.

The webinar will cover the potential role of private tactical 5G networks and future network architectures. The technical perspective will be presented by Mike Zizza of Wind RiverX, listed in the program as Sales and Growth Leader, DoW. Participants who answer three survey questions during the live broadcast may receive one CPE credit.
