This is the second year for these C2M events, and the third event of 2024. This event will be dedicated to understanding the needs and challenges of the ExW department. The ExW mission is to provide intelligent systems solutions for all domains that enhance detection, decision-making, maneuver, and kinetic and non-kinetic engagement capabilities for the Expeditionary Warfighter. ExW performs work for more than 150 funding sponsors primarily from the United States Marine Corps, United States Special Operations Command, Naval Special Warfare, Naval Sea Systems Command, etc.


Additionally, and in conjunction with the Charleston Defense Contractor Association (CDCA), we welcome Mr. Peter Reddy, Executive Director of the Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic (NIWC LANT). Mr. Reddy will be sharing the mission of NIWC LANT, their relationship with CDCA and NSWC Crane, and how to find out about contracting opportunities with the NIWC LANT organization.
