Topics to be covered at the 2021 Summit:

Accelerating Synthetic Training Capabilities to Meet our Future Training Requirements
Utilizing Modeling and Simulation to Close Lethality and Readiness Gaps
Transforming Virtual Training Infrastructure in order to Create a Realistic and Relevant Operational Training Environment
Enhancing the Capabilities of America's Warfighters through LVC
Developing and Acquiring M&S Systems to Prepare Soldiers for a Near-Peer Adversary
Enabling Pilots to Train Like They Fight in a Secure, High Fidelity Training Environment
Employing Modeling and Simulation to Provide Simulation Capabilities and Training to Army Pilots

Why You Should Attend This Summit:

This educational Summit will bring together senior DoD officials, military leaders, academia, and solution providers to explore emerging concepts and capabilities in Virtual Training and Simulation technologies. Emerging simulation technology will improve training and prepare the warfighter for current and future challenges.

Our 2021 Military VT&S Summit will emphasize the use of VT&S to improve warfighter readiness while at the same time increasing safety and reducing cost. Virtual training tools will allow the soldiers and marines to fight multiple battles before they see the real thing, pilots to fly and training missions without the risk of a crash, and sailors to hone their skills without having to be a sea. These changes will produce and more ready US fighting force prepared for any mission across the globe.

This Summit will feature senior level discussions that emphasize the critical need for the rapid acquisition and development of VT&S capabilities across all services. This program will allow for open and honest dialogue to solve the nation’s most difficult technical and strategic challenges.
