This event is cohosted with the National Defense Industrial Association鈥檚 Emerging Technology Institute.
The United States military faces an increasingly complex and interconnected battlespace, where success depends on a force鈥檚 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鈥檚 Emerging Technology Institute and Hudson鈥檚 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 a discussion with Sir Iain on the economic, political, and security measures the US and its allies need to take to defeat the rising authoritarian axis.
Join Keystone Defense Initiative Director Rebeccah Heinrichs for a conversation with Hammer about the book and the future of US-Israel relations.
Former policymakers and leading national security experts will join Hudson to assess how China鈥檚 growing influence is reshaping the regional order鈥攁nd how the US should respond.
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.
