Autonomous Capabilities for DoD Summit

On September 26-27, 2017, senior leaders within the U.S. Military Services, DoD, Industry and Academia will convene in Alexandria, VA, for two days of off the record, non attribution briefings and senior level discussions at Defense Strategies Institute’s “Town Hall” Autonomous Capabilities for DoD Summit.

The dialogue will focus on achieving and applying levels of machine-learning and varying autonomous capabilities to DoD systems at-rest and in-motion across all physical and non physical domains according to mission priorities.
