Secure World Foundation will participate in the U.S. Naval War College’s Future Warfighting Symposium, taking place August 5–6, 2026, in Newport, Rhode Island.
The Future Warfighting Symposium opens the Naval War College academic year and brings subject matter experts together to address emerging issues in security, technology, operations, and strategic affairs. The primary audience includes mid-grade and senior officers from the uniformed services, civilian agencies of the U.S. government, and international officers from partner countries.
Victoria Samson, SWF Chief Director, Space Security and Stability, will speak on a panel examining the current state of space security and sustainability. The discussion is expected to address possible approaches to arms control, the role of norms for responsible behavior, and how space activities fit into the broader security environment.
The panel will also include Doug Loverro, Kevin Pollpeter of CNA, and retired Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt of the U.S. Space Force.
SWF’s participation will support continued engagement with professional military education audiences and provide an opportunity to discuss space security and sustainability with military, civilian, and international security professionals preparing for complex operational and strategic environments.
