We are moving forward from the great success of our first inaugural Executive Global Space and Defense Program that we partnered with USC and  in collaboration it’s Sol Price School of Public Policy and USC Viterbi School of Engineering. With outstanding professors, experts and capstone projects ranging from Leveraging Commercial Companies to Increase Agility and Lethality for Integrated Deterrence in the Information Age, to the Integrated, Multinational, multidomain, and multi-layered defense of Guam, we are going to stoke the existing fire of our cauldron of excellence in critical academic thinking on Space and Missile Defense to make our nation and world safer through deterrence. Getting to deterrence through breakthrough innovation and collaboration in Policy and Engineering, which resets our near peer competitors to follow the leader status. MDAA and USC are honored and excited about the upcoming 2022-2023 year for our second, more robust, Executive Global Space and Defense Program. The program begins in September of 2022 and concludes in April of 2023.
