Operationalizing Integration in the Indo-Pacific

Join Pacific Forum, key industry partners, congressional members and staffers, and defense officials from 15 nations for the Operationalizing Integration in the Indo-Pacific (OIIP), January 16-17, 2024 in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. As the regional security environment continues to deteriorate, this dialogue seeks to facilitate dialogue and solutions between the private and public sectors in the hopes of hastening integration at the levels of policy, doctrine, technology and equipment, and munitions, in order to bolster deterrence. It seeks to bring together industry experts, practitioners, and policymakers identify blockages in the areas of command-and-control (C2), critical tech exchange, standardization, and defense industrial research and development and to discuss ways of overcoming these challenges.

Themes

Building a Shared Narrative and Sense of Urgency: Is there a sufficiently shared view of the security environment to drive coherence of effort among disparate stakeholders?

Security Environment: How are critical technologies changing the capabilities, operations, logistics, and tactical doctrine of potential adversaries in the Indo-Pacific?

Impact of Ukraine on Warfare: How are new technologies enabling or hindering interoperability on the battlefield in Ukraine? How relevant is this to the Indo-Pacific context?

Critical Technologies and Challenges Impacting Standardization: What specific technologies will be critical in high-intensity warfare and what are the implications for US Forces and our allies?

All-Domain C2 Across the Continuum of Conflict: What degree of interoperability – to the point of interchangeability – is required through the continuum of competition-crisis-conflict in the current operational environment?

Maintaining Capacity – Endurance over the Long Term: How do we ensure combined forces can stay in the fight for as long as required?
