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 Institute for a discussion of how the US can build a more resilient and flexible energetics base—one that can meet sustained demand while accelerating the development and fielding of new capabilities.
Join Hudson Institute for a conference with leaders from industry, government, academia, and defense to discuss the latest developments in the US-China AI competition.
Join House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (AL-03) for a fireside discussion with Senior Fellow Nadia Schadlow on Congress’s role in revitalizing America’s defense industrial base.
Hudson welcomes Karel Řehka, former chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces, to discuss the changing security environment in Europe and its implications for the Czech Republic, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the transatlantic alliance.
