HASBAT September Membership Meeting & Luncheon
Join the Huntsville Association of Small Businesses in Advanced Technology (HASBAT) for our September Membership Meeting and Luncheon on Thursday, September 10, 2026, featuring COL Patrick Farrell, CPE Offensive Fires, PAE Fires.
As the Army continues to transform the way it develops, acquires, and delivers critical capabilities to the warfighter, Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Fires is helping shape the future of the Army’s fires portfolio. Within this organization, CPE Offensive Fires is focused on advancing and delivering capabilities that support the Army’s long-range precision fires and broader modernization priorities.
COL Farrell will provide HASBAT members and guests with insight into the evolving Offensive Fires acquisition environment, current priorities, and efforts to accelerate the delivery of critical capabilities to the warfighter.
For Huntsville’s small business and defense industry community, this discussion provides a valuable opportunity to better understand the Army’s changing acquisition landscape, emerging mission requirements, and the role industry can play in supporting the future of Offensive Fires.
The HASBAT Membership Meeting and Luncheon also provides an opportunity to connect with professionals from across the defense, aerospace, technology, and government contracting communities while staying informed on the programs, priorities, and initiatives shaping our industry.
We look forward to welcoming our members and guests for an informative afternoon of networking, collaboration, and engagement with Army leadership.
