DTRA Executive Director Dr. Williams joined NDIA and the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command for the 2023 Pacific Operational Science & Technology for a well-received conference in Honolulu, Hawaii this past week.

Dr. Williams collaborated with some of Indo-Pacific's experts in science, technology, and security to address the critical issues and challenges of the region. This year’s POST theme, “Seizing the Initiative via Decision Superiority, Innovation and Collaborative Partnerships” encourages academia, industry and government leaders to envision near-term solutions to a variety of challenges.
