This event is cohosted with the National Defense Industrial Association’s Emerging Technology Institute.
The United States military faces an increasingly complex and interconnected battlespace, where success depends on a force’s ability to rapidly integrate joint forces and leverage innovative operational concepts across domains. As adversaries advance their capabilities, the Department of Defense needs new ways to prototype and experiment with joint systems-of-systems that transcend traditional service boundaries.
To address these challenges, the DoD has launched the Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve (RDER) to drive joint experimentation and capability development.
This initiative is designed to help bridge the gap between (a) the service-specific priorities and capabilities that provide the backbone of the US force and (b) emerging opportunities for truly integrated joint solutions, including technology-enabled operational concepts and systems-of-systems that can address the critical operational problems combatant commanders face.
Join the National Defense Industrial Association’s Emerging Technology Institute and Hudson’s Center for Defense Concepts and Technology for a symposium exploring the future of joint experimentation for new technology-enabled operational concepts.
This event will examine:
By bringing together perspectives from the Office of the Secretary of Defense and combatant commands, this symposium aims to shed light on the path forward for joint experimentation to solve operational problems in an era of strategic competition.
Join Hudson for an expert panel on how reliable and effective patent rights are the key to the America First agenda: growing the US innovation economy, creating jobs, and responding to challenges from global competitors like China.
Join Hudson for a panel that will examine some of the tools that could help revitalize US investment in the region, including development finance, political risk insurance, and economic innovation zones.
Join Senior Fellow Matt Boyse for this discussion with Martin Vladimirov, director of the Energy and Climate Program at CSD, and Isaac Levi, Europe-Russia policy and energy analysis team lead at CREA. CSD Program Director Ruslan Stefanov will provide opening remarks.
Hudson will host an expert panel to discuss how increased technology collaboration will benefit the US and India and why these agreements could help both nations expand their partnerships in the Indo-Pacific.
