Presentation Outline

Modern defence forces must operate in increasingly contested, congested, and denied environments. The ability to fight dispersed, communicate securely across coalition partners, and make faster decisions at the point of action is no longer aspirational — it is an operational imperative. Meeting this challenge demands three converging capabilities at the tactical edge: resilient private communications, trusted artificial intelligence, and end-to-end cyber security. In this session, DXC Technology discusses a field-proven approach that integrates Private 5G networking, Secure AI, and a cyber resilience framework to deliver decision advantage where it matters most — forward of fixed infrastructure. • Private 5G at the Edge delivers a rapidly deployable, cableless communications fabric using quantum-safe encryption, zero trust network access, and software-defined radios. We will discuss how sovereign, spectrum-controlled 5G networks enable dispersed headquarters, forward operating bases, and mobile formations to maintain bearer-agnostic connectivity and secure coalition interoperability — even when primary communications are degraded or denied. • Secure AI and Cyber Governance at the Edge extends this foundation with edge compute for AI-powered situational awareness, sensor fusion, and decision support on hardened platforms designed for forward operations. We will demonstrate how AI models are governed under a Defence-grade cyber security framework — explainable, adversary-resistant, and compliant with accreditation requirements from development through operational deployment and continuous monitoring. DXC continues to support the Defence Mission — drawing on proven allied defence experience and its role as a service integrator — is helping defence forces close the gap between strategic intent and tactical reality, securely, from cloud to the edge.
