Washington, D.C. | May 07, 2026

KSA Integration was proud to participate in Modern Day Marine 2026 in Washington, D.C., where this year’s theme, “From American Shores: 250 Years of Fighting Forward,” highlighted both the legacy and future of the Marine Corps. From April 28-30, our team engaged deeply with Marine Corps leadership, industry partners, and the broader defense community to better understand the evolving operational and acquisition landscape.

This year’s event underscored a clear shift in how the Marine Corps is approaching modernization. Leaders emphasized speed, adaptability, and outcomes over traditional, process-heavy acquisition models. The formation of the new Portfolio Acquisition Executive, Marine Corps (PAE MC) signals a more integrated, mission-driven acquisition enterprise, one that aligns closely with KSA Integration’s strengths in mission engineering, data analytics, AI innovation, and strategic advisory support.

The event also highlighted the increasing urgency of countering emerging threats, particularly in the unmanned systems and air defense space. Senior leaders pointed to the rapid proliferation of low-cost, high-impact technologies and the need for integrated, scalable solutions. KSA’s ongoing work in strategic and tactical threat assessments and capability development positions us to support these evolving mission needs.

As the Marine Corps continues to evolve to meet future challenges, KSA Integration remains committed to delivering the insight, rigor, and innovation needed to bridge strategy and execution, supporting those who serve on the front lines.
