Delve into the cutting-edge technologies and strategies employed in preparing military personnel for the complexities of modern warfare. From immersive simulations replicating battlefield scenarios to advanced modeling techniques analyzing strategic decisions, join us to explore the forefront of defense training methodologies.
The
National Summit on Training, Modeling & Simulation is dedicated to tackling the crucial task of effectively and efficiently training and preparing warfighters for the intricate threat landscapes of future conflicts. With the challenges of replicating future operating environments in real-world exercises growing in difficulty, cost, and risk, military services are shifting their training focus towards harnessing the capabilities of modeling, simulation, and virtual training. These technologies offer realistic replication of multi-domain battle scenarios, vital for preparing soldiers for the complexities they'll face on the battlefield.
Topics the Summit will Cover Include:
- Strategizing Multi-Domain Warfare Training: Identifying Essential Training Requirements
- Next-Generation User Interface Advancements: Exploring VR, AR/MR, and Simulation Enhancements
- Fostering the Content Ecosystem: Models and Interfaces for Seamless Integration
- Synthetic Training for Intense Operations: Innovations in High-Intensity Operation Simulation
About the Conference
The landscape of defense training is undergoing a profound transformation with the emergence of synthetic training. Synthetic environments, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and artificial intelligence, are reshaping traditional training methodologies, and offering a vital means to enhance readiness and resilience among military personnel.
Against this backdrop, the
National Summit on Training, Modeling & Simulation serves as a premier forum for senior U.S. DoD leaders and NATO partners to explore the evolution of defense training. The summit will facilitate discussions on key topics, including the integration of emerging technologies to enhance user interface, modeling, the adoption of common data environments, LVC architecture, interoperability challenges, cyber security and cloud solutions, and the strategic implications of synthetic training.
The Conference runs under Chatham House rule with no media or press in attendance. Participants are strictly vetted; certain citizens are not admitted to the conference.
