“The threats to our nation and our interests are real and growing. The strategic environment has
N9, Office of the Chief of Naval
Operations changed; gone are the days of operating from a maritime sanctuary against competitors who
cannot threaten us.“ – ADM Lisa Franchetti, USN, Chief of Naval Operations

These words from the CNO stress the urgency and importance of maintaining the world’s premier
naval force to deter aggression. This message is captured by the I/ITSEC 2024’s theme: Assuring
Deterrence Through Integrated Training and Readiness – The Need is Now!

Deterrence is not merely in raw capability, we must demonstrate the skill and the will to win the
fight. Making sure that both lethality and readiness are maintained as part of our core training
goals is critical to this ability. We must do this while maintaining a responsible plan for funding
and acquiring these capabilities.

In this special event, VADM Pitts will discuss our Navy’s requirements within key acquisition,
research and technology and mission readiness domains that the I/ITSEC community can work
together to address and to ensure that we remain postured to deter aggression and win the fight
if necessary.

Special Operations Forces’ (SOF) value proposition lies in its global perspective, transcending
regional boundaries, and its ability to operate with a diverse array of options. To maintain this edge,
SOF must continuously evolve, embodying adaptability, agility, flexibility, and innovation. A panel of
senior SOF leaders will discuss the critical need for integrating reality-virtuality continuum into Joint
Force training, exercises, experimentation, and rehearsals to fulfill SOF’s global objectives. Emerging
technologies — such as virtual/augmented reality and artificial intelligence — offer significant
enhancements to virtuality continuum-based force-on-force engagements, yet their adoption
within the Joint Force has been slow and fragmented. Despite rapid advancements in technologies
that significantly enrich mission readiness, perceptions and acceptance of these capabilities lag.
Amongst others, Collaborative Autonomy will enable the Joint Force to deploy teamed, unmanned
systems in contested environments. To fully leverage these technological enhancements within
the Joint environment, we must cultivate a revolutionary mindset. Augmented training, seamlessly
integrated with live training, represents the future. The future and need are now.

tools and capabilities, and how the roles, needs, limitations, and risks assumed by human users,
operators, trainees, and stakeholders may change as a result.

Human systems integration (HSI) technical warrant holders for DoD programs and program
offices are expected to keep program managers and leadership informed about the opportunities,
opportunity costs, and risks associated with resource allocation and design decisions affecting
human users and stakeholders. The challenges and opportunities before training stakeholders are
becoming more complex by the day.

This special event will bring together experts in AI, human factors, and training design and
implementation for a discussion of how the challenges faced by training acquisition programs
are changing with the maturation of AI, and how and where stakeholders and practitioners can
incorporate understanding of those challenges and help manage their impacts on programs,
learners, instructors, decision-makers, and stakeholders.

Questions to be explored here include what developers and acquisition stakeholders should know,
and how these capabilities will be accommodated in the near and more distant term.

other communities that have instituted more rigor into their MOSA policies, smaller modeling & simulation
communities can leverage open systems to better take advantage of interoperability.

The purpose of this panel is to present multiple views and opinions on the promises — and pitfalls — of true
interoperability and a MOSA-based approach to developing training simulations. Panel members will include
industry members, acquisition program managers, and government R&D leaders, representing large and
small communities. For some, interoperability is indeed “the next big thing”. For others, interoperability and
open systems have been applied for several years.

While medical simulation is represented heavily on the panel, the concepts and lessons learned can apply to
many other smaller markets as well.

CHRISTOPHER BOYLE
USFFC N72 Training Technology BENEFITS INCLUDE:
Director, U.S. Navy • High-quality training. • Cost savings within budget cycles.
• Reduced procurement times. • Agility in meeting evolving requirements.
However, risks involve defining acquisition strategies, managing lifecycle costs, legal considerations,
and data rights. TaaS is effective with shared risk and a comprehensive understanding of business and
regulatory landscapes.
WHY ATTEND:
Training as a Service (TaaS) has been employed in procurement strategies for several years. However,
navigating regulatory and statutory complexities becomes challenging when purchasing a service
that may involve substantial contractor investment, potentially limiting long-term competition. Past
procurements have taught valuable lessons in meeting demanding requirements. The types of funding
allocated are closely linked to both the advantages and risks associated with acquiring TaaS.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN:
This panel will provide invaluable insights into the transition from traditional procurement of simulators
and training content to a service-based approach. Participants will learn about the benefits of TaaS,
including high-quality training, reduced procurement times, cost savings within budget cycles, and the
ability to adapt to evolving requirements. The panel will delve into the challenges of defining acquisition
strategies, managing lifecycle costs, legal considerations, and data rights. Attendees will also explore the
complexities of regulatory and statutory frameworks that impact the procurement of services requiring
substantial contractor investment. By understanding past procurement lessons and the nuances
of funding allocation, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how TaaS can meet
demanding requirements and deliver trained students or specific outcomes to defined standards. This
session will equip attendees with the knowledge to navigate the business and regulatory landscapes
essential for successful implementation of TaaS in military training programs.
