Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense

More than 150 representatives from 28 nations and four international organizations will convene for the Nimble Titan 24 Conflict Event in Suffolk, Virginia, in November 2023.

Hosted by the Lockheed Martin Center for Innovation “The Lighthouse”, the purpose of the Conflict Event is to explore integrated air and missile defense policy issues and potential solutions during conflict. The Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense executes the Nimble Titan campaign on behalf of U.S. Space Command.

Nimble Titan is a global campaign of experimentation set 10 years in the future and is conducted in an unclassified environment. Participants from ministries of defense and foreign affairs convene several times a year to explore some of the most relevant security challenges facing the international community, as adversarial missile capabilities and technologies increase in both scale and scope. Since its inception in the early 2000s, membership has nearly tripled in size, highlighting the importance of addressing missile threats across regional and trans-regional boundaries and warfighting domains.

Nimble Titan leverages a network of partnerships critical to developing multilateral solutions in an ever-changing, complex environment. This campaign of experimentation focuses on integrated deterrence by taking a deeper look into synchronized messaging, effective command and control, information sharing, and defense against emerging threats, among other objectives. Insights gleaned from participation help inform Nimble Titan member nations perspectives on policy concerning integrated air and missile defense issues.
