Poster Category
- Autonomy & Robotics: We are looking for topics/capabilities that involve having a robot perform tasks without human intervention. such tasks could include sensing, planning, or implementing action in a self-governing manner.
- Advanced Protection: We are looking for topics/capabilities that integrate CBRN individual and collective protection versus making it a standalone necessity. The intent is to enhance a warfighter’s lethality rather than hinder it.
- Decision Support: Decision support systems serve the management, operations, and planning levels of the DoD physical security enterprise to help make decisions, which may be rapidly changing with little advanced warning. The DoD is looking for a capability/tool that focuses on command and control equipment, projects related to the creation and enhancement of common operating pictures, orthe establishment of common architectures and interface standards.
- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning: The DoD is looking to incorporate AI into decision-making and operations to reduce risk to fielded forces while generating military advantage. Do you have tools/capabilities that can help better maintain our equipment, reduce operational costs, and improve readiness? By improving the accuracy of military assessments and enhancing mission precision, AI can reduce the risk of civilian casualties and other collateral damage.
- Simulated Training Environment: Long gone are the days of classroom training and technical manuals. We are looking for topics and ideas that provide standalone, realistic training that does not require removing the warfighter from the fight.
