Engineering Simulation for Military Technology

Expediting RDT&E for Rapid Fielding of Warfighter Capabilities

IDGA’s Engineering Simulation for Military Technology Summit will focus on current RDT&E processes being used within military commands and the role of simulation to improve this.

The Summit will discuss the use of modeling and simulation in the research, development, testing, and engineering phase of capability development. Traditional RDT&E relies on expensive and time consuming product development which requires extensive real-world testing in order to confirm the engineering principles of the product. Advanced simulation will allow RDT&E Commands to increase their product development at a reduced cost and time to fielding.

Gain exclusive insight into topic areas including:

Increasing the speed of product development and fielding
Requirements from RDT&E commands for simulation programs
Reducing costs and increasing productivity within product groups through simulation
Current available products and how they can support the directorate's mission
New industry services and best practices for engineering development
