The Sea Air Space 2026 conference will feature major discussions on new fighting instructions, acquisition reform, and the threat from Iran. The event, a key gathering for naval and maritime defense professionals, will set the agenda for near-term U.S. maritime strategy.
Strategic discussions will likely address how new combat doctrine integrates with evolving alliance structures in the Indo-Pacific and Middle East. The focus on Iran suggests a continued emphasis on countering asymmetric maritime threats and ensuring freedom of navigation in volatile regions.
