The National Broadband Act has initiated the auction of portions of the RF Spectrum formerly reserved for use by Federal agencies to repurpose the spectrum for commercial use. Much of the Test Instrumentation used by the T&E community is reliant on the RF spectrum, and these auctions require the Test Instrumentation community to adapt to loss of access to RF frequency bands to maintain current capabilities. This workshop will support the s...

A digital ecosystem is a collection of networked information technology resources that can function as an integrated entity. The dominant ecosystems today were created by large tech companies, such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Apple, using hyperscale platforms. The underlying computing technology is dominated by mobile and cloud providers that spend billions of dollars per year for software, networks, processors, accelerators, memory, and...

Cyberspace attacks against information technology systems, weapons systems, and critical infrastructure remain a significant threat to the reliability and security of those systems. Cyber test and evaluation (T&E) and acquisition organizations increasingly rely on measuring the cyber performance of those systems using “digital twins” and other virtual versions of those systems and the components in them on cyber ranges of vario...

This year’s MDO workshop will build upon this theme going beyond the classical separation of the lifecycle phases, ie. experimentation, contractor test, developmental test, operational test and training, with each having their own discrete experimentation or test phase to a continuum of test and evaluation from warfighter gap identification through to the operations and sustainment of the gap solution. We will focus on going outside the...

Join us in December in Destin for the Test & Evaluation Symposium: Next-Generation Test Dominance ITEA has been providing Education and Training to the T&E community for over 40 years. Spend the week with us as we dive into the challenges facing testers today and be a part of the solution! We offer 4-hour Tutorials on topics such as: T&E in a Digital Engineering Environment; Cognitive EW: An AI Approach; DoD T&E Across the Acqu...

This workshop will cover advanced cyber defense techniques and tools, emerging technologies in identifying zero-day vulnerabilities, mission and system resilience and survivability, and much more. Please join fellow Cyber Test & Evaluation (T&E), Acquisition, and Operation professionals from the government, industry, and academia to share information, lessons learned and knowledge. Join us at the opening Session on Wen. August 30th for...

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...

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...

The 2023 DE Test & Evaluation Joint Conference on T&E Support to Prototyping and Experimentation will discuss the practical implications of T&E support in prototyping, experimentation and other developmental activities. The conference will leverage the DoD vision set forth in the DoD Prototyping Guidebook and the recent significant increases in prototyping and experimentation efforts to explore the role of T&E in prototyping, e...

Cybersecurity is paramount in every phase of a system lifecycle. Professionals involved in Test and Evaluation are increasingly tasked with more rigorous controls, more complicated interconnections, and more contested operating environments. Cybersecurity is applied across all Government domains from common tactical networks to weapon systems. Instead of focusing on the depth of cybersecurity T&E in a single space, this workshop will focus...
