Our theme this year, “Multi-Domain Operations in an Extended Range Environment”, will take a look at our need to be better and faster at getting our products to the warfighter and decision makers. Our intent is to peak discussions on how we can prioritize our resources, identify innovative solutions to overcome the status quo, even in the midst of resource and dollar limitations. We must move towards a test, training, and experimen...

As artificial intelligence (AI) applications proliferate across the internet ecosystem, other changes are being triggered, from the commitment to R&D funding to workforce development to new initiatives in higher education. The federal government’s spending on IT R&D and AI in fiscal year 2023 is estimated at $9.6 billion. Meanwhile, the University of Florida, for instance, declares it is “building an AI university,” a...

European Parliament recently approved the final draft of the EU AI Act to regulate artificial intelligence across all industries. This first-of-its-kind act proposes a risk-based governance scheme will create new requirements across a broad scope of entities and jurisdictions. If your company or clients are using AI (and these days, who isn't), you'll want to learn how the AIA will change the AI landscape in the EU and US.

The universe of artificial intelligence applications is going through its own Big Bang right now. As artificial intelligence (AI) applications proliferate across the internet ecosystem, other changes are being triggered, from the commitment to R&D funding to workforce development to new initiatives in higher education. As public awareness grows of AI’s potential and how it may affect them, there still are issues to be resolved. For i...

Test Instrumentation Workshop will support our need to be alert and aware of all technological developments that may have an impact on our test and evaluation operations. This workshop will discuss selected tenets of the various sensor instrumentation support to include the network, communications, and the massive resultant data. Join us to share your experiences, lessons learned, and solutions to the problems we face in today’s constrai...

In October 2022 the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) released their “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights”, intended to inform and shape the development of federal AI policy. In response, ATARC is hosting a series of webinar panels to promote discussion and provide clarity on the Blueprint’s structure and goals. These panels will bring together government leaders, academics, and researchers, with the hope that the...

Modern warfare has dramatically shifted over the past two decades. Data and technology have become as important to 21st century defense as bombs and bullets. And as the U.S. expands its focus on Great Power competition with near-peer adversaries like China and Russia, the Department of Defense has placed a greater emphasis on using modern, data-driven technologies to enable better and quicker decision-making in life and death scenarios. Defens...

In today's world, where international tensions are high and the threat of adversarial action looms large, the need for accurate and timely intelligence has become more critical than ever before. In this context, publicly available information (PAI) has become an integral part of filling gaps in intelligence collection efforts, especially in the activities and actions of opaque foreign powers like China. China’s geopolitical impact and in...

The past two years have brought about a decade’s worth of change to federal technology, from rapidly pivoting to and sustaining a remote, virtual-enabled workforce, to revitalizing customer experience at the heart of government’s biggest missions – all while defending against increasingly sophisticated attacks and making big bets on next generation technologies like cloud, AI and automation. And these transformations are only...
