This was a great event, I highly recommend it and plan to attend in the future. Major themes included AI + MBSE, MBSE + Model Based ATE (ATML), and Model-Based Mission Planning. Great work to the organizers and chairs. I was honored to participate as a presenter.

Mr. Thomas W. Simms -- the Legend Lives On!
An Augmented Defense Technology Innovation Leader
1 周Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering meet David Mroczka and the builder of the 9HI platform, coupled with a disruptive innovation ecosystem OODA loop (PMs, SMEs, VC, disruptors, technologists, tech scouts, consultants, HQEs working cooperatively and disruptively in unison) with AI modules/LLMs assisting the internal Scouting and Innovation projects, can help move acquisitions decisively to the left while burning down often uncalculated risk—in the most critical decade for maintaining US hegemony. Elmer Roman sir would love to set up a demo.
