As artificial intelligence advances toward true complex decision-making, maintaining a human-centered, agentic AI will be essential to the future operations of the Department of War (DoW). From enabling real-time, in-theater decision support to optimizing enterprise and back-office processes, the integration of orchestrator AI systems capable of managing partitioned sub-agents presents both a transformative opportunity and a significant security challenge under DoW standards.This session will open with a keynote address by a senior DoW leader, followed by an executive panel of Agentic AI experts who will explore the critical issues of data and process standardization, alignment of large and small language models (LLMs and SLMs), and the operational deployment of agentic AI across the Department s mission areas.
