2023 INTERSERVICE/INDUSTRY TRAINING, SIMULATION AND EDUCATION CONFERENCE DOWNLOAD MOBILE APP FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR Welcome to I/ITSEC 2023! Its been quite a journey to get this amazing conference ready for all attendees. I, along with Program Chair, Dr.

Anne Little, the lead service, led by the Program Executive Officer for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Ms. Karen D.

H. Saunders, SES, (USA), Service Principal Ms. Debra Dawson (USA), and RADM James Robb, USN (Ret.), President, National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA) have worked diligently with the conference committee to put together a program rich in content and deep in expertise, across a broad range of topics.

There are many other folks who have put in tireless efforts such as service executives Captain Tim James (USN), Colonel Marcus Reynolds (USMC), Colonel Matt Ryan (USAF), and Gregory Knapp (OSD) as well as service principals Mr. Kent Gritton (USN), Ms. Carol Byers-Bendle (USMC), Mr. Heath Morton (USAF), and Mr. Frederick Engle (OSD). I also want to recognize the 300+ volunteers from industry, government, and academia, as well as the incredible staff at the NTSA, led by Ms. Debbie Langelier, who devote their time to put this incredible event together. The work started the day after I/ITSEC 2022 and continued throughout the 2023 calendar year as we moved from reviewing initial submissions for papers, tutorials, workshops, and special events to finalizing the exact days and times of each session and/or event. I cant thank the entire team enough for their tireless efforts and support. All together we have developed a content-rich and engaging program of which I am extremely proud.

This years theme, Sustaining a Global Force in a Digital World, will carry through many of the offerings at the conference. In our current world, technological advancements seem to be coming out almost daily. From Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to extended reality (XR), our increasingly connected and digital world seems to be throwing capabilities and challenges at us at breakneck speed. This leads to some difficult questions that the M&S community must rise to answer. How do we keep our warfighters prepared? What are we doing today in testing, training, and information operations that gives us a technological edge over our adversaries? How do we maintain superiority in a multi-domain operational environment? How do we maintain our readiness while simultaneously continuing to modernize? While predicting the future seems absurd in our current time of technological disruptions, it must continue to be done. The actions we take today will influence our results in the future. Even through all the advancements, we must put people first with a focus on technological developments in the context of increasing the capabilities of our warfighters and first responders.

I/ITSEC is the event where the challenges, people, technologies, and innovative methods come together. While much of the focus is on our warfighters and first responders, nothing advances without an effective synergy between people from government, industry, and academia. All of your different perspectives are critical to addressing the challenges in engineering, medicine, manufacturing, education, psychology, etc. for our warfighters, first responders, and society. As you see old friends and make new acquaintances this week, share your knowledge and insights so we can continue pushing modeling and simulation (M&S) to new levels.

Welcome to I/ITSEC 2023!

SUSTAINING A GLOBAL FORCE IN A DIGITAL WORLD

3 DOWNLOAD MOBILE APP Welcome to I/ITSEC - the worlds largest modeling and simulation (M&S) event. This years conference provides a full five-day program. In the pages that follow, you will find opportunities to hear from leaders investigating the latest challenges and developments within our com-munity. As you examine what is offered, Im sure you will see why I/ITSEC 2023 is the place to be.

This years lead service, the United States Army, in collaboration with NTSA, the Service Executives and Principals, and the combined total of more than 300 volunteers from industry, government, and academia have worked the last year to prepare this program. Our theme, Sustaining a Global Force in a Digital World, directs our community to consider the human within digital environments and how digital technologies support global military readiness. We are challenged to use human-centered approaches to implement digital advancements that improve future training systems. We are also challenged to consider sustainability from multiple perspectives; disruptive technologies that deliver a future capability today must not hinder the capabilities of tomorrow. Our program provides hundreds of opportunities to engage in all aspects of this theme.

Please take some time to create your personal itinerary to maximize your engagement over the week. Monday kicks off with 31 Tutorials.

These skill-building sessions are 90-minutes and this years topics include Learning Engineering, Generative AI, and many others. We also offer Tutorials focusing on foundational topics, so if you are new to our community, you can find value attending Tutorials discussing LVC, M&S Verification and Validation, and xAPI Essentials.

Monday also kicks off the first of 42 special events with the Congressional M&S panel. This is annually a standing-room only event to hear from the Congressional Caucus. Members discuss their perspective on the situation in Washington and how they make the case for timely investments in M&S.

You will not want to miss the opening ceremonies on Tuesday morning to hear from our keynote speakers from the U.S. Army and Dr.

Douglas Bowman, the Director of the Center for Human-Computer Interaction at Virginia Tech. This will be followed by our Senior Leader Panel of representatives from U.S. Military Services and OSD. This panel will discuss opportunities and challenges of accelerating technology as our collective services continue to prepare for a wide array of missions from disaster assistance to the return of great power competition.

The 147 Paper Sessions offered Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday pack information from a series of topics across six content tracks into 20-minute presentations. Each delivers current findings in critical areas such as cyber, AI, mixed reality, and how they support training and other readiness initiatives. Attendees have a unique opportunity to hear new perspectives on emerging technologies, including what has been uncovered by the latest research or implications to policy. Be sure to attend our Best Paper nominee presentations on Tuesday afternoon.

This years slate of Special Events includes Signature Events that may be familiar if you have attended the conference before - particularly the Services Flag and General Officer panels, and the I/ITSEC Fellows presentation. Service acquisition officials will brief opportunities for industry, and we have added a new Senior NCO panel to discuss operational readiness and mission rehearsal. The Next Big Thing events will again include a series of panels discussing government CTOs and CLOs visions for the future, 5G and NextG, and accelerating the adoption of AI for MS&T.

Be sure to plan enough time to walk the exhibit hall - approximately 200,000 square feet with over 450 companies, the Cyber Pavilion, Seri-ous Game Showcase, and the EcosySTEM of Learning booths.

I/ITSEC closes with eight Professional Development Workshops on Friday. Each half-day event provides an in-depth treatment of a current, relevant topic. Consider attending to learn about AI for simulation-based training, serious game design, or how to prepare for the Certified Modeling and Simulation Professional exam.

Finally - did you know there is an I/ITSEC 2023 app? The entire program is available there. You can use it to highlight sessions you want to attend, companies you want to see, and network with other members of this great community. Its a great tool to help you see everything of interest to you.

Have a great week!

JUST OUR SOLDIERS HELPERS (JOSH)

Just Our Soldiers Helpers (JOSH), is a woman-founded and led IRS-approved non-profit founded in 2011. The JOSH mission is to increase the morale of deployed U.S. service members from all branches of the military. They do this by providing care packages containing name brand items that are not readily available during deployment.

• JOSH is an all-volunteer organization; 87% of all funds go directly towards program-related expenses. less than 3% goes towards administrative costs.

• JOSH ships only full-size name-brand products.

• JOSH ships every month of the year to all the warfighters on their list.

• JOSH has shipped over 150,000 pounds of products to our warfighters since 2011.

I/ITSEC 2022 was the inaugural year that the I/ITSEC community helped support JOSH. Onsite at the OCCC, during I/ITSEC 2023, volunteers and attendees will sort, pack, and ship 140 care packages to our service members around the world. We can accomplish this with help from our industry partners, we have made several support levels available so all can support. Packing will happen before I/ITSEC opens on Sunday, 26 November at approximately 0830 in Room 110A at the OCCC West Concourse.

2023 I/ITSEC FELLOW JAMES WALL, PH.D.

Executive Director, Texas A&M Center for Applied Technology (Retired)

THE I/ITSEC 2023 FELLOW W

ith nearly four decades of indelible contributions to Modeling and Simulation (M&S), Dr. James A. (Jim) Wall is a technical leader, M&S textbook co-author, and iconic visionary whose work has fundamentally shaped simulation capabilities being delivered and used today. Dr. Walls work has enabled the transformation of operations, training, and testing across multiple communities that safeguard our national and personal security. Prior to retire-ment, Dr. Jim Wall served as the Executive Director of the Texas A&M Center for Applied Technology and the inau-gural Director of the Innovation Proving Ground, a component of the Bush Combat Development Complex located on the RELLIS Campus of Texas A&M University. Early on, as a researcher in the newly formed Uniformed Army Sci-entist Program at the Army Research Laboratory, Dr. Wall led development of the Virtual Sand Table, which was the first 3D tabletop environment used to virtually represent military systems being driven by constructive simulations.

Later, at Texas A&M, he and his team developed the Emergency Management Exercise System that has been used to train more than 20,000 emergency responders across the nation. Additionally, he was the Co-Principal Inves-tigator for the highly successful Digital Emergency Medical System program that connects an ambulance with the receiving emergency room and transmits real-time video and physiological telemetry while on the move. His teams bio-surveillance common operational picture developed for the Department of Homeland Securitys Nation-al Bio-surveillance Integration Center won the 2010 Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology Impact Award. In 2010, he served as the I/ITSEC Conference Chair, the first from an academic institution to serve in this capacity. He supported a Defense Science Board Task Force on a year-long study related to gaming, exercising, modeling, and simulation (GEMS) in 2021. Dr. Wall was commissioned as an Armor officer in the U.S.

Army and retired as an Army Acquisition Corps officer with twenty-two years of service. His last Army assignment was as a Senior Computer Scientist with the Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland.

He has a Ph.D. in Computer Science (2003) from Texas A&M University and an M.S. in Systems Technology (Command, Control, and Communications; 1986) from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. In 2009, Dr. Wall was designated as a Regents Fellow by The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents. He was inducted into the National Center for Simulation Modeling and Simulation Hall of Fame in October of 2022.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN FROM THE I/ITSEC 2023 FELLOW Dr. James A. (Jim) Walls I/ITSEC Fellows paper focuses on his 39 years of M&S experience as a staunch ad-vocate for promoting modeling and simulation as a National Critical Technology among military, government, academic, and industry leaders and the opportunities for its use in more diverse application environments. His experience includes work across multiple U.S. Government Departments including Defense, Homeland Securi-ty, Energy, and Agriculture. His presentation will cover some of the commonalities and differences in applying M&S across the departments. His reflections relate his efforts as a developer of M&S requirements, a user, and an M&S developer and highlights observations and lessons learned along the way. Dr. Wall will highlight some emerging trends in M&S and discuss how advances in other supporting technologies such as artificial intelli-gence, machine learning, and cloud architectures present both opportunities and challenges that M&S practi-tioners will need to address to realize the full potential of new and powerful applications. Such applications will be more commonplace and serve as an enabler to a broader, more diverse user community by providing greater access and utility at more levels to support problem-solving, decision making, and training.

he operational environment our joint and multi-national partners operate within is becoming more complex and congested requiring a persistent training environment to rapidly train and build coalitions to achieve ob-jectives. The Army delivers theater specific warfighter exercises (WFXs) for Corps and Divisions to conduct collective training, at scale, across multiple domains while also advancing and assessing Multinational Interoperability. The annual execution of multinational warfighters lacks joint force participation and uses an industrial age planning and preparation process for each event.

Examine the challenges to support the requirements and overcome the technical difficulties to establish a persistent Mission Partnered Environment that incorporates joint and multi-national partners into future constructive exer-cises across all domains.

igital twin simulations have been simmering for half a century. But the past decades advances in GPUs, AI and software platforms are heating up their adoption amid this higher-fidelity era of more immersive experiences.

A digital twin is a virtual representation a true-to-reality simulation of physics and materials of a real-world physical asset or system, which is continuously updated.

Digital twins arent just for inanimate objects and people. They can be a virtual representation of computer net-working architecture used as a sandbox for cyberattack simulations. They can replicate a fulfillment center process to test out human-robot interactions before activating certain robot functions in live environments. Digital Twins can help maintain a healthy supply chain to ensure optimal performance, predictclimate change byaccurately mapping climate development as well as extreme weather, and even prepare the warfighter for the future fight. Were right at the beginning of this transition into reality, much as AI became viable and created an explosion of possibilities.The applications are as wide as the imagination.

Join these senior leaders to discusstheir vision and real world application of digital twins to enable their missions.

he demand signal for rapid decision-making support has increased. Thus, access to authoritative sim-ready data supporting an agile decision cycle is a critical requirement. Collecting and reformatting force structure, threat representation, systems performance data, and geospatial data for scenario development is manpower and time in-tensive. This led to a collaboration between the Army (AMSO) and Joint Staff to expand the scope of ongoing data efforts in order to drive the ability to access, retrieve, use, and reuse sim-ready data. The Joint M&S Data Initiative supports the National Defense Strategy by providing the overarching vision, focus, guiding principles, essential capabilities, and goals necessary to transform not only the Armys M&S Enterprise but sync with Joint Services into a common data framework.

In this special event, senior Navy leadership will discuss the successes and challenges of training across multiple domains, to include the need for acquisition urgency based on real world pressures.

The U.S. Navy looks to ensure our Sailors can out-think and outfight any adversary while remaining the best trained and educated naval force. Deterrence is our duty and to accomplish that we must demonstrate and sustain the skill and 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 acquiring and sustaining these capabilities.

The Sailors who serve today are the most well-trained naval force in history and are critical to the Navys ability to meet its mission. This panel of senior Navy leaders will provide insight into how to optimize the human performance of U.S. Navy Sailors to succeed in a digital world. ADM Michael Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations reminds us, Decisive naval power is essential in this security environment; America cannot cede the competition for influence.

This is a uniquely naval mission. A combat-credible U.S. Navyforward deployed and integrated with all elements of national powerremains the Nations most potent, flexible, and versatile instrument of military influence. As the United States responds to the security environment through integrated deterrence, our Navy must deploy forward and campaign with a ready, capable, combat-credible fleet.

he idea of having a super soldier in the ranks is a tantalizing prospect for any military. Just imag-ine, a soldier who could withstand pain, extreme cold or the need to sleep. Although it may sound like something out of science fiction, emerging technologies capable of augmenting the human body are rapid-ly evolving and becoming a reality. Injectable night vision, blood engineered for the ability to breathe under-water,bionic hearing, all these are no longer science fiction. Super soldiers are fast becoming a reality as mili-taries across the world search for ways to beef up their troops to make them stronger, faster, and more deadly.

The idea of getting our hands on some highly coveted Marvel-Esque superpowers sounds exciting, however, there are some real-world fears and ethical questions that need to be asked. Just because we can, should we? The same technology in the hands of an insurgent or terrorist could create super terrorists capable of all kinds of destruction.

This super soldier Black Swancould truly save thousands of lives with a quick decisive win of a war; or the tech could fall into the hands of a dictator with nefarious intent. The use of Modeling and Simulation can help us better understand how to manage these new technologies. If you are in any way involved in helping our warfighters get a physical, or mental edge, then this is a must attend session! We have gathered a team of experts that have done extensive research into the area and can give us a rundown on the good, the bad and the ugly. Join us!

iven the ongoing explosion of Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality technologies and tools, we continue to see instances where we need to pay special attention to human-centered issues in developing and using these technolo-gies in practical applications. Our panel focuses on continuing challenges in developing and applying these technologies for human performance and readiness. There are many opportunities, but there are also technological gaps and risks that persist. Examples include cybersickness and fatigue, environmental constraints such as outdoor implementation or applications in secure spaces, precision in activity tracking for individuals and larger teams in a variety of real-world contexts and situation, haptics, and how best to get realistic interaction and feedback with the environment at hand (sorry, no pun intended). The audience will have the opportunity to connect with a group of multi-national innovators who are driving research and applications with these technologies and who are also working to address some of the gaps we see today. Event participants will also have a chance to hear about panel members ongoing research and develop-ments, their successes and the things that are continuing challenges for their work.Audience members will also come away with a much better understanding where a number of communities are in their state of the art and what they are doing to improve human interaction, learning, and immersion in these environments.

Each of the winners was selected by a committee and criteria specific to the particular global conference focus and theme. Come hear the award winners offer their outstanding presentations from these prestigious international conferences.

MODSIM WORLD 2023 BEST PAPER USING MACHINE LEARNING FOR DEFECT CHARACTERIZATION Victoria Gerardi, Operations Research Analyst, U.S. Army DEVCOM-Armaments Center Antonio Aguirre, U.S. Army DEVCOM-Armaments Center This paper presents a methodology that is under development to analyze large X-ray image datasets for anomaly and/or defect detection using machine learning techniques. The characterization of anomalies and/or defects can be identified through the performance accuracy of either image classification (supervised learning - convolutional neural networks) or anomaly detection (unsupervised learning - autoencoders) models. Each learning technique has unique hyperparameters and design architectures to aid in creating a robust model to predict against X-ray images of varying orientations, brightness and contrast. This method would be a strong complement to the traditional suite of energetic material/component characterization tests, particularly for melt-pour explosives, performance-related design intent, safety, and/or performance-related defect detection. For safety or performance-related defect detec-tion, the methodology enables baselining defects as a feedback loop in the development of new subscale tests and physics-based models to better understand and predict energetic failure modes, a capability under development at DEVCOM Armament Center called Energetic Defect Characterization (EDC).

IT 2EC 2023 BEST PAPER VR FOR PUBLIC SAFETY RESPONSE TRAINING Major Koen Ceulemans, Innovation Manager Land Component (TBC) Technology Advisor 1LT Jeroen Nelis, Innovation Manager Belgian Federal Police (Limburg) - Subject Matter Expert XR Belgian Defence In 2009 a Belgian ship was highjacked by Somalian pirates. In a joint effort to resolve the situation, the special forces of both the Belgian Federal Police and the Belgian Defence trained together to enter the ship. To accomplish the mission, they made a real-life replica of the ship using wood and carton based on the blueprints of the ship. However, building this replica took a lot of time; Time that could otherwise be spent training. This is why, in 2022 the Belgian military and police officially joined forces to build a proof-of-concept VR-training simulator that would make it possible to more quickly react to these kinds of situations. The aim of the simulator was to bring the interactions of the operators with the virtual environment as close to real life as possible. This collaboration between the police and military is called XR-labs. The main goal of the lab is to share knowledge and insights in the Belgian military and security sector in the field of eXtended Reality. During the construction of the proof-of-concept training simulator, a strategy is also being developed on how to adopt this kind of technology in the future organization-wide. Where we first thought about just buying off the shelf solutions, we are now shifting towards a solution of co-development, where we would build a system together with the industry. Since the technology is still evolving very rapidly at the moment, buying a state-of-the-art system right now would be outdated in a matter of years and probably even months. Also, the nature of the confidential infor-mation could raise concerns when buying a black box system off the shelf. For example, we are looking into making 3D-scans of the critical infrastructure like nuclear sites, airports, courthouses, embassies, etc. This will make it possible to more quickly respond to and train for emergency situations, but could also be very dangerous if the information falls into the wrong hands. Besides that, the gathered information about the performance of the operators (e.g., TTPs) is also sensitive in nature. A last issue when buying a system off the shelf is that current simulators are generally made for one specific use case. For example, there are simulators for small arms training, sniper training, decision-making, First Aid, etc. In the real world, we would have a modular simulator - a sandbox environment - that makes it possible to combine the different disciplines in a trianing scenario, as it would be in the real world.

T he feedback from combat-tested senior NCOs has always been valuable to the training and development of the latest generation of Army Soldiers. These seasoned leaders know todays youngest warfighters grew up surrounded by constantly changing and advancing technology, resulting in them being more accepting of digital simulation for training and mission rehearsal. Despite their ability to adapt to technology, these young warfighters must still embrace the idea that synthetic training only augments and does not replace live training evolutions. Ad-ditionally, simulation and mission rehearsal technology is not limited to only weapons and platforms, but also covers the entire spectrum of military operations including communications, logistics, tactical data links, and battlefield medicine. Each of these critical elements must be included in any type of synthetic training environment in order to achieve both individual and unit operational readiness.

he military healthcare community must continuously respond to shifts in the operational environment. In recent conflicts, evacuation of casualties occurred rapidly due to air and ground superiority. With future conflicts, in particular Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO), evacuation may be denied for significant periods of time. Further-more, LSCO is likely to result in larger numbers of casualties, complicating the task of clearing the battlefield. Beyond battlefield medicine, the military health system must be ready to provide care to servicemembers for nearly all specialties and sub-specialties. The combination of difficult battlefield medicine conditions with broad requirements for medi-cal treatment facility care presents significant challenges. Within this panel, representatives from the Joint healthcare community will present the direction of military healthcare training. This will include representatives associated with battlefield medicine, training within medical treatment facilities, and graduate medical education.

achine Learning models are vulnerable to a variety of attacks above and beyond the range of conventional cyber and human social-engineering hacks, such as data poisoning or AI Trojans inserted during the training phase. AI/ML systems are also brittle and easy to confuse in the inference phase: in a military context, parked air-craft with a certain sticker applied to the fuselage might be miscategorized by an aided target recognition system as not-aircraft, or a tank camouflaged with enough foliage might be considered a moving tree. This study assessed the current state of counter-AI and counter-counter-AI programs and research, in DOD, in the Intelligence Commu-nity, in industry and academia, and provides recommendations for the Army to improve how it tests and evaluates, validates, and protects existing and future AI/ML models and the data supply chain, and to improve detection, reaction, and restoration of AI/ML-enabled systems after an attack - AI assurance.

enerative AI, such as ChatGPT, has burst onto the scene as the latest application of generative natural language processing, taking the public by storm and demonstrating its impressively (and eerily) human-like conver-sational skills. Millions are now using it and other AI generative models, experimenting with and exploring their possibilities, asking questions, and giving various writing assignments and other tasks.

With these AI models becoming more robust and mature, how might they be put to use productively and safely in training, education, and simulation? Beyond how they might support their human counterparts as highly personal-ized assistants, could they fundamentally change the way we learn, train, and work in todays digital world?

Although these natural language models can create responses that appear accurate and thoughtful, they lack true human-like understanding or insight. And as they become more sophisticated and human-like, they might engender a false sense of trust or an exaggerated mistrust, overreliance, or miscalibrated confidence by their human users.

What processes or guardrails will we need to ensure productive human-AI teaming that will provide accuracy, data integrity, and explainability?

This panel of leading thinkers from defense and industry will address and explore with the audience the current and potential applications of generative AI in training, simulation, and education in both military and civilian domains.

oin Defense Contract Audit Agency as we break down the impact of the 2019 GAO Contract Financing re-port and the subsequent Office of the Under Secretary of the Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Defense Pricing and Contracting finance study, which cited government compliant accounting systems, Cost Accounting Standards, and FAR Cost Principles as barriers to entry for small businesses looking to enter the Defense Industrial Base. During this presentation, DCAA will look at the types of contract awards and the requirements for each, as well as the common misconceptions of FAR, CAS, and TINA.

ABOUT DCAA Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) provides audit and financial advisory services to the Department of Defense (DOD) and other federal entities responsible for acquisition and contract administration. DCAAs role in the financial oversight of government contracts is critical to ensure DOD gets the best value for every dollar spent on defense contracting. DCAA operates under the authority, direction, and control of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)/Chief Financial Officer. Its work benefits our men and women in uniform and the American taxpayer. The Agencys primary function is to conduct contract audits and related financial advisory services. Contract audits are independent, professional reviews of financial representations made by defense con-tractors, and DCAA helps determine whether contract costs are allowable, allocable, and reasonable.

o create and maintain an advantage with peer and near peer advisories, it is critical that our warfighters are equipped with systems that are designed to consider their physical, behavioral, and cognitive needs. I/ITSEC provides an excellent opportunity for groups such as the government Human Systems COI and industryto reach out to the larger DoD community and discusshuman systems issues as they relate to training, modeling, and simulation.

Research shows that attention to human systems design is critical for the prevention of human error, which accounts for most accidents and incidents across a wide range of systems. Unfortunately, human performance research is not routinely transitioned to defense acquisition programs. Also, with no specifications required for human systems integration in acquisition programs, Requests for Proposals (RFPs) seldom include evaluation criteria for it, and it is ignored by program managers. Human systems design issues must be considered early during system design to reduce subsequent operations and maintenance costs, minimize accidents and incidents that negatively impact safety and costs, and improve the effectiveness of the combined human-system for achieving mission outcomes. This panel of experts willdiscuss the importance of recent human systems documentation and guidance, specifically the Hu-man Readiness Levels (HRL) as they relate to modeling, simulation, education, and training solutions, all of which include the human. The panel will educate the attendees on what the HRLs are, how program managers can and should build those requirements into RFPs, and challenges associated with implementing the guidance.

hat if an authoritarian leader of a nuclear nation could improve their cognitive abilities by 100x using implants? Can multimodal deepfakes turn a population against its government in five days? Will children be cognitively inoculated against misinformation before the end of this decade? These are but a few questions the NATO Industry Advisory Group (NIAG) imagined as part of Study Group 278 on Cognitive Augmentation for Military Applications at the 2040 horizon.

The commoditization of generative AI and the vast breadth of emerging cognitive technologies, combined, will yield new opportunities and threats for NATO nations. Understanding this landscape is critical for government stakeholders and industry decision-makers as they seek to leverage such prospects and anticipate/mitigate the related threats.

In this special event, servicemembers and industry representatives will get a primer on the SG-278 report, focused on four components for cognitive augmentation: training and readiness, neurotech, emerging tech, and ethical, legal, and societal implications (ELSI). Attendees will learn:

• How to navigate the landscape of cognitive augmentation for military applications

• Critical NATO use cases and concepts of use for leveraging cognitive augmentation for blue forces while counter-ing cognitive augmentation of red forces

• Early insights and recommendations for NATO and industry towards roadmapping cognitive augmentation to-wards 2040

• W 3 0 0 - T H E AT R E A HISTORY OF GAMES FOR MILITARY TRAINING:

FROM SHEEP KNUCKLES TO THE METAVERSE 23T17 There is evidence of games being used for business trade, future prediction, and military strategy for at least 5,000 years. In this tutorial we explore the history of games as tools of military strategy, planning, and training from 3,000BC to the present. We reveal the long evolution of the basic components that are necessary to create a complex game. Concepts that first emerged in India and Asia at the end of the last millennia are still embedded in the games that we create today.Fi-nally we explore how the evolution of serious games shows a trajectory for where games in modelling and simulation are headed, including digital twins, global mobile connectivity, virtual and augmented reality, the rise of generalizable arti-ficial intelligence, automatic content generation, and the metaverse.

The tutorial has four major sections:

(1) Ancient games from 3,000BC to 500AD, with a focus on the essential me-chanics and the emergence of game pieces and rules.

(2) Modern game design and early computer implementations from 500AD to 1980AD, in which the mathematics of wargames emerged and offered a format that was amenable to programming in the earliest analog computers of the 1940s through 1980s workstations.

(3) Serious games and the recent embrace of the technology by military leaders at all levels from 1980 to the present. In these last forty years computer-based games have been transformed from crude experiments with the technology to a major workhorse for training in all domains and at all echelons.

(4) Finally, we speculate on the possible future impacts of the metaverse, digital twins, AI, and global mobile connectivity.

• W 3 0 7 A ILLUMINATING THE ATO PROCESS -

LESSONS LEARNED THE HARD WAY 23T31 Authorization to Operate (ATO) a mythical unicorn for some, a holy grail to most, and a regular occurrence for those who recognize the difference between vul-nerable and exploitable. ATO at its core is simply an official declaration made by an authorizing official (AO) to allow a system to operate within their boundary. To achieve ATO, the security posture of the system must be rigorously documented, evaluated and approved. Earning ATO often takes years and generally millions of dollars. ATO is the critical milestone for all systems that seek to become operation-al in the DoD. In accordance with policy, whenever a new software application or system is being considered for DoD use, the security posture is evaluated from inception through fielding to ensure that ATO can be achieved. Unfortunately, stakeholders often ignore security leading to insurmountable blockers, specifically for those that are transitioning from the commercial sector to DoD use.

It is critical for companies to include security within their early design and architecture. Adversarial threats in a firms code and tech stack will likely result in ATO being denied and require the firm to rework the entire architecture to remove and replace the offending code - leading to additional development, delays, and money wasted. In this vein, the lack of ATO inclusion can perpetuate the Valley of Death for small business and pose a significant roadblock in transitioning from research and development to operations and sustainment. This tutorial aims to encourage all attendees to become familiar with the authorization process before development of a new system / technology begins.

This presentation will discuss: i) what an ATO is, different types of ATOs, and associated security constructs, ii) the roles and responsibilities of everyone that plays a part in the ATO process - from government to industry, iii) where to start with an ATO and all the steps a company needs to take to achieve it, iv) tips and tricks for shortening the time and effort required to achieve ATO through a Certificate to Field or Cyber Impact Analysis, v) lessons learned from a small business who recently achieved ATO, vi) ATO reciprocity and how to make your ATO work across the DoD, and vii) how to maintain your ATO. By the end of this tutorial, attendees will be able to describe the steps needed to achieve an ATO.

• W 3 0 6 A B MACHINE LEARNING AND THE BENEFITS OF APPLYING IT TO XR TRAINING SYSTEMS 23T45 According to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the Department of Defense is making artificial intelligence (AI) research a top priority by investing approx-imately $1.5 billion in AI projects over the next five years at the Defense Ad-vanced Research Project Agency (DARPA). Machine learning (ML), a subfield of AI, has quickly become critical in fields such as engineering, learning association, and medicine due to its ability to produce adaptable models that can perform a variety of complex tasks. Recently, ML has been leveraged to produce enormous benefits in extended reality (XR) enabled environments including education and training. However, understanding the vast field of ML and its utilization in training systems can be extremely challenging. Miscomprehension can lead to poor management and development activities that result in more costly and underwhelming training solutions. Grasping ML fundamentals and emerging concepts, and its application to XR will empower managers to make appropriate strategic and costing decisions and allow designers, developers, and engineers to successfully implement effective training systems.

This tutorial will expand on last years overview of ML technologies to in-clude emerging concepts, methods, software, and hardware, while detailing how these can be integrated into XR education and training environments. The presentation will highlight examples demonstrating MLs use in design, testing, and optimizing XR training systems with a variety of simulation engines and hardware devices. Additionally, this tutorial will evaluate each examples efficacy of incorporating the technology to aide in warfighter training by improving effi-ciency, reducing costs and training time, and sustainability.

This tutorial is for a wide range of stakeholders from those interested in gain-ing a basic understanding of ML for administrative level decision making to those who want detailed methods and integrations within XR-enabled training environments to gain specific performance improvements.

• W 3 0 7 C IEEE 1278TM STANDARD FOR DISTRIBUTED INTERACTIVE SIMULATION (DIS):

CONCEPTS AND TECHNIQUES 23T41 As any gamer will tell you, it is compelling to connect simulations and play with other actual human participants, whether in the next room or on the next con-tinent. Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) is an enabling technology that connects military training and engineering simulations for that purpose.

Successful research in the 1980s led to an international effort to standardize a network protocol for linking military training and engineering simulations. DIS was the result, using the IEEE standards process to create a technically sound and widely accepted protocol. IEEE 1278TM-1995 and additions in 1998 were the first full DIS standards that contained the protocol and rules for real-time simulation interoperability of military land, sea, and air platforms, weapon in-teractions, radar, radio, IFF, laser designators, underwater acoustics, logistics, simulation management functions, and more.

The success of DIS expanded into the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) in 1996. SISO took over the development of the DIS stan-dard and launched a much wider range of simulation standards. The 2000s saw the development of the next round of improvements, resulting in IEEE 1278.1TM-2012. Continuing development within SISO is working toward the next version, referred to as Version 8, expected to be completed in the mid-2020s.

This tutorial explains how DIS achieves real-time high-fidelity interoperabili-ty over best-effort networks. The basic concept and some of the technical details will be introduced to give students a foundation for starting and expanding the implementation and use DIS in their simulations. The standards process, history, and future directions of DIS are also presented. Emphasis on DIS Version 8 will review current developments and upcoming improvements to the DIS standard.

• W 3 0 7 D MODERNIZE YOUR TRAINING BY MIGRATING LEGACY SCORM CONTENT TO CMI5 23T29 The learning and training landscape is changing rapidly with newer technolo-gies emerging. While SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) has been the de facto eLearning industry standard, SCORM has not been extensible enough to support these technologies and does not provide enough guidance on capturing robust learner performance data.

Making the transition from SCORM to the more flexible Experience Ap-plication Programming Interface (xAPI) specification is key to supporting the vision and goals for modernizing learning within the Department of Defense while meeting the distributed learning policy (DoDI 1322.26) related to learn-ing analytics and interoperability. SCORM and xAPI can be implemented to-gether, but the divide is wide.

The cmi5 specification was released in 2016 to help bridge the gap and define a set of rules for how online courses are imported, launched, and tracked using an LMS and xAPI. While cmi5 presents a promising solution, adoption across the DoD has been slow, but now there are tools and templates that are freely available from ADL to help migrate legacy content to the improved cmi5 specification.

In 2020, The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative awarded Rus-tici Software a contract to design and build tools to aid in the adoption of cmi5, including sample cmi5 course templates to aid in converting legacy content and a cmi5 Content Test Suite, known as cmi5 Advanced Testing Application and Player Underpinning Learning Technologies (cmi5 CATAPULT).

This tutorial will help attendees better understand how to utilize cmi5 and the freely available course templates from cmi5 CATAPULT to migrate, create, and test their courseware to ensure they conform to the cmi5 specification. Af-ter an introduction to cmi5, where it fits into the Total Learning Architecture

The cmi5 specification plays an important role in the DoDs learning mod-ernization, facilitating progress in migrating from SCORM-based LMS-centric courseware to a distributed learning ecosystem that delivers diverse learning op-portunities across federated platforms. With the cmi5 Conformance Test Suite and example course templates, there are now ways to validate that content conforms to the cmi5 specification and migrate existing legacy courseware, which will help increase adoption of the specification and move toward the DoDs TLA goals.

• W 3 0 8 A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS:

A SURVEY OF M&S APPLICATIONS IN MOBILITY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND LOGISTICS 23T18 Mobility (of people, goods, services) is an urgent bipartisan concern that impacts all humans on this planet. The vitality and well-being of a nation is reliant upon a well-organized transport system and supporting multimodal (e.g., pedestrians, bicycles, cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, trains, trams) infrastructure. For transporta-tion applications ranging from ground vehicles (i.e., both manual and automated),

flight vehicles (e.g., conventional aircraft, and automated drones), maritime ves-sels, and next-generation mechanisms for human mobility, advanced physics-based models and high-fidelity simulation implementations remain essential for ongoing applications in research, training, and education to advance and evolve our trans-portation network of tomorrow.

In this 90-minute Tutorial, an apprentice-level overview of vehicle-based Modeling & Simulation (M&S) will be provided, with a focus on diverse appli-cations in transportation systems. A high-level overview of common modeling methods will be presented with a targeted focus on timely and diverse aspects of human mobility, multimodal transportation, sustainability, diverse vehicle (i.e.,

land/air/sea) dynamics essentials, as well as the global supply chain and logistics.

The NTSA-endorsed Certified Modeling & Simulation Professional (CMSP) curriculum will be closely adhered to, and this Tutorial will serve as a broad introduction to many core/fundamental M&S topics and techniques (e.g., Phys-ics-based, Stochastic, Monte Carlo, Continuous simulation, Discrete-events, Human behavior, and Multi-resolution models) that are featured on the cer-tification exam. Numerous modeling methods will be demonstrated by way of practical and media-driven examples and use cases, all of which will be verbally described (for context), mathematically modeled, and demonstrated by way of media-based simulation.

• W 3 0 8 B SIMULATION CONCEPTUAL MODELING THEORY AND APPLICATION 23T12 Simulation Conceptual Modeling Simulation conceptual modeling is a critical step in simulation development frequently overlooked in the rush to demon-strate program progress. A simulation conceptual model is an abstraction from either the existing or a notional physical world that serves as a frame of ref-erence for further simulation development by documenting simulation-inde-pendent views of important entities and their key actions and interactions. A simulation conceptual model describes what the simulation will represent, the assumptions limiting those representations, and other capabilities needed to sat-isfy the stakeholders requirements. It bridges between these requirements and simulation design. It can bound the systems engineering problem and provide valuable artifacts for simulation validation, verification, and accreditation. The emergence of Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) has accentuated the need for well-formed simulation conceptual models. This tutorial will present the theory and application of simulation conceptual modeling as documented during the research done by the NATO MSG 058. In addition, Use Cases that have been drawn from previous conference presentations will be presented to illustrate how conceptual modeling has been performed. Additional work is nec-essary to mature the state-of-the-art of simulation conceptual modeling before a recommended practices guide could be standardized. This tutorial has been created to continue the maturation of the simulation conceptual modeling best practices. Presenter: Jake Borah is the Co-owner of Borah Enterprises LLC.

AN INTRODUCTION FOR HUMANS 23T37 The modern digital world imposes key constraints and opportunities on how best to sustain a global force. On the one hand, the scale of available digital data and the pace of technological change demand solutions that can adapt quickly to massive amounts of data and rapid development of new capabilities. On the other hand, the increased digitization of information provides opportunities to exploit these enormous amounts of data, if only adequate technology can be employed to exploit the data. One of the best emerging candidates for exploit-

2023 INTERSERVICE/INDUSTRY TRAINING, SIMULATION AND EDUCATION CONFERENCE DOWNLOAD MOBILE APP 1030 - 1200 MONDAY, 27 NOVEMBER TUTORIALS ing this data is the rapidly advancing field of machine learning. The ability to automatically extract lessons and patterns from large amounts of data has the potential to be an essential force multiplier for improving effectiveness and rapid adaptation of training, simulation, and education.

The field of Machine Learning (ML) began in the 1950s, and it became a major, widespread research area in the 1980s. Over the past 10-20 years, innova-tions in computer hardware, computer languages, computer memory, and new algorithms have kicked off a rapid escalation in the capabilities of ML systems.

As a result, the common refrain from stakeholders is I want my system to learn!

But what does it really mean for a system be able to learn? When is it a good idea and when is it not? What kinds of things are computers good at learning, and where are there still weaknesses? How does this all work, really?

This tutorial abstracts away from the mathematical and computational de-tails to offer a high-level understanding of How ML Works, as well as its ca-pabilities, strengths, and weaknesses, The tutorial presents the broad categories of learning that current ML approaches address, together with examples that provide an intuitive feel for how each approach is able to work, without delving into the specifics of the complicated math that provides much of the magic.

The tutorial also investigates the art behind the science, introducing the work an ML practitioner needs to add to apply these powerful algorithms successfully to new problems.

The tutorial finishes by summarizing some of the types of human learning that are still on the ML frontier, waiting to be understood and conquered, as well as an overview of methods to decide which parts of your problem might be best suited to NON-learning algorithms.

• W 3 0 7 A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LEARNING ENGINEERING 23T25 NOTE: This tutorial recieved the 2022 I/ITSEC Best Tutorial award.

The goal of science is to discover the truth about the world as it is. The goal of engineering is to create scalable solutions to problems using science as one tool in that endeavor.Learning engineering is a process and practice that applies the learning sciences, using human-centered engineering design methodologies and data-informed decision-making, to support learners and their development.

Learning engineering brings together professionals from different fields, in-cluding the learning sciences, assessment, learning experience design, software engineering, and data science. Learning engineers design learning experiences, but thats not all they do. They also address the contexts and conditions that lead to great learning. These might include the architecture of physical or virtual learning environments, social structures, and learners mindsets as well as more obvious targets such as curriculum design, educational technology, and learning analytics.

This tutorial introduces learning engineering, starting with its definition, purpose, and foundations. Next it covers the core components, including the learning engineering process model and the fields primary contributing disci-plines: learning sciences, human-centered design, engineering, data collection, data analytics, and ethical design. This initial portion of this tutorial will give attendees a solid understanding of the discipline as well as its definitions, utility, and distinctions from related fields. We will use real-world case studies through-out to illustrate concepts.

Following this, we will outline the steps practitioners can use to form learn-ing engineering teams and to execute applied learning engineering processes.

This portion will include tools and recommended practices for uncovering learning challenges, assembling and managing lean-agile learning engineering teams, creating human-centered designs, integrating learning science, moti-

• W 3 0 0 - T H E AT R E BEHIND THE SCREAMS: M&S ANATOMY AND DECOMPOSITION OF A CONTEMPORARY RIDE SYSTEM ATTRACTION 23T19 Edwin A. Link is widely regarded as the archetype of modern-day flight simula-tion. In 1929, his LINK trainer was the first commercially developed simulation aviation trainer that has since been designated as an Historic Mechanical En-gineering Landmark. Links key innovation shaped the landscape for what has become a standardized and widely embraced platform for high-fidelity training.

Such systems are now commonplace across multiple foundational disciplines at I/ITSEC, including flight, driving, maritime, and others. A related fact is that the Link trainer was patented primarily as a flight trainer - but co-patented as an amusement device. The Link team instantly recognized that their innovative (and engaging) training system could also be implemented for leisure purposes; a prophetic concept, considering the technological state-of-the-art from that pe-riod. Now, almost one hundred years later, a powerful cross-synergy continues to exist between serious-minded M&S training applications and industry-leading simulator-based entertainment experiences - a notion that serves as the overar-ching impetus for this Tutorial.

In this timely emerging technologies presentation, we take a deep dive be-hind the screams into a recent and revolutionary simulator attraction located at the Walt Disney World Hollywood Studios (Orlando) theme park - Rise of the Resistance. Themed after the Star Wars franchise, Rise of the Resistance is a marquee, technologically groundbreaking multisensory attraction that includes several ride system innovations, motion system components, and industry firsts, including: i) a turntable simulator; ii) trackless planar motion; iii) large-screen immersive 6-DOF platform simulation; and iv) a ride finale that includes a freef-all drop segment, never experienced previously on a ride simulator. This Tutorial will describe the end-to-end ride experience (and underlying M&S technologies) and will highlight broader impacts -- dating back to its Link Trainer origins associated with the state-of-the-art implementation. The Tutorial concludes with a preview of what is to come in the simulator entertainment sector, based upon both I/ITSEC innovative concepts and current patent technologies made pub-licly available within recent literature.

The efficiency of the UKR ADL system was provenduring annual evalua-tion visits (2020 and 2021) conducted online during the COVID lockdown. Of importance is to stress the UKR input as far as the development of the NATO DEEP Strategy for Distance Learning Support is concerned. So, it meansthat this system has already been proven under pandemic conditions and now in the time of war.

From September 2013 to February 2023, total 145 ADL-focused NATO DEEP events were conducted,involving1800+ Ukrainian participants. Such formats were introduced aspostgraduate studies e-Teacher and e-Instructor within a new learning environmentcaused by COVID-19, e-Instructor Certi-fication Program, and dedicated projects: Computer Adaptive Language Testing

Department of Defense (DoD) Instruc-tion 1322.26 recommends the Experience Application Programming Interface (xAPI) data specification as the primary method for encoding and exchanging interoperable learner performance data across the DoD enterprise. xAPI state-ments are a form of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), a common data format used across industry and government.

While xAPI can encode data about formal learning experiences, it also can support informal learning, such as on-the-job training, self-directed learning in work environments, or even student engagement in virtual classrooms. But be-cause xAPI enables such broad data interoperability it presents a complex chal-lenge in the design phase and in implementation. The creation of an xAPI data strategy helps establish the business rules for how xAPI is used across organiza-tions to collect and interpret learner data from different digital learning systems.

This tutorial will focus on the tools, technologies, and processes for imple-menting xAPI to meet organization-wide objectives. While some attention will necessarily be placed on the instrumentation of learning activities with xAPI, the primary focus of this tutorial is lessons-learned on how to implement best prac-tices so that learner data is Visible, Accessible, Understandable, Linked, Trust-worthy, Interoperable, and Secure (VAULTIS).

Each organization within the DoD has its own unique challenges when im-plementing xAPI. Attendees of this tutorial will work through different use-cases to illustrate the value of an xAPI data strategy. Attendees will walk away with actionable knowledge about how to use xAPI profiles to continuously improve organizational insights into the wide range of digital learning systems.

• W 3 0 8 A EVOLUTION OF RF SIGNAL VISUALIZATION FROM SPECTRUM ANALYZERS TO AUGMENTED REALITY 23T33 We are surrounded by invisible radio frequency signals created by human technology like radio, cellular, and satellite. Traditionally, we see these sig-nals through spectrum analyzers. However, the capabilities of existing analysis tools are being outpaced by the rapid modernization of wireless networks and topologies like 5G, IoT, Bluetooth, LoRa, etc. RF is inherently multidi-mensional, but conventional analyzers display signals in 2D slices, limiting real-world applicability to highly technical users. Emerging technology that combines Augmented Reality displays and AI/ML algorithms is capable of spatializing RF data into its natural 3D location for easier understanding and communication.

This tutorial will provide an overview of the evolution of RF visualization tools from flat interfaces to immersive ones that can be used to discover and map RF signals and networks. The audience will gain a broad understanding of the emergence of immersive interfaces and how they can be applied successfully to spatial data visualization. Building upon proven UI/UX principles, we will walk participants through challenges with the design and development process, theory behind decisions, and usability issues to overcome in actual deployments. Re-sulting best practices will be shared openly. Finally, the audience will learn about future applications of these tools and forecasted innovations as the underlying technology matures.

• W 3 0 8 B MAKING THE CASE: BUILDING STRONG M&S VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION EVIDENCE 23T35 The processes of Verification, Validation, and Accreditation are foundational ele-ments that underlie assessments of M&S credibility. Verification and Validation (V&V) activities serve to build an evidentiary chain of information upon which M&S Users can assess the viability of an M&S for a particular application. In-formation derived from the V&V processes is used to shape the understanding of how and where an M&S should be used and under what the constraints.

While V&V is founded on basic software engineering principles, implemen-tation is often constrained by resources, whether these resources be time, money, personnel, or information. This tutorial will address the key steps that can be tak-en to build strong V&V evidence while accounting for resource impacts. The tu-torial will incorporate lessons learned derived from multiple VV&A applications.

Topics to be covered by this tutorial will include:

• Requirements traceability that provides the link between requirements and V&V testing

• Identifying verification test strategies (e.g., leveraging information, supplemen-tal test activities)

• Building and applying validation referent data (what the simulation results will be compared to)

• Defining the simulation measures and metrics to use as the basis of comparison (the aspects of the results that will be compared to the referent)

• Selecting validation methods to apply when performing the results/referent comparison

• Documentation templates and tools that provide efficiency of process to the V&V effort The tutorial will enhance the learning experience by incorporating lessons learned derived from the many VV&A applications with which the authors have been involved.

• W 3 0 8 C BUILDING TRUSTED AI:

AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN-AI TRUST 23T39 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how humans do everything from get-ting to work to diagnosing illnesses to creating art. In all these applications, AI occupies a gray area between a tool (like a calculator) and a partner (like a col-league). AI is more than a tool because AI systems have goals, dynamically plan actions to achieve those goals, and adapt to the situation based on experience.

However, humans cant build the relationships with an AI system that they do with a trusted colleague. AIs undeniable value in high-stakes, life-or-death de-cisions coupled with AIs status as more than a tool but not yet a partner raises fascinating questions about how and how much humans should trust AI systems.

These questions are especially critical for the training and simulation community, given its leading role in the deployment of AI.

This tutorial will review the science of trust across both the social and physical sciences and describe the three key aspects of AI trust: trustworthy, trustable, and trusted. Prominent theories and models of trust will be discussed and con-sideration of those applied throughout the human-AI lifecycle will be explored.

Approaches to assessing AI trustworthiness will be explained including their relation to the DoDs existing VV&A process. The technical requirements the AI system must meet to be capable of gaining a humans trust will be detailed, including explainability, transparency, natural interaction and building common ground. Subjective and objective (behavioral and physiological) trust measure-ment approaches will be explained. All of this will surmount to a final discussion of human-AI trust calibration and the future of human-AI trust centered on the realm of the possible for standards (e.g. TRL equivalent for trust of a system, trustworthiness index for AI operational fielding decision).

• W 3 0 8 D FINDING FIDELITY: WHEN YOU NEED IT, WHEN ITS TOO MUCH, AND HOW TO OPTIMIZE SIMULATIONS FOR HIGH TRAINING EFFECT AND LOW COST 23T20 This tutorial serves as a comprehensive introduction to the concept of fidelity in serious games, simulations, and other forms of interactive training technology.

The appropriate use of fidelity has a critical impact on the utility and training effectiveness of a training simulation. When misused, inappropriate fidelity goals result in simulations that are too expensive, too awkward, and too distracting to use that are poorly received by trainees. Smart use of fidelity results in enjoyable, challenging and efficacious training experiences with a measurable impact and great repeat play value.

In this tutorial, the popular impression that fidelity is a primary goal and indicative of quality training is challenged. First, the costs and benefits of fidelity are reviewed and the perils of excessive fidelity are explained with numerous graphical live-play examples. Real-world examples are taken from AI-based Vir-tual Human Avatars, Virtual Reality Simulations, Virtual Patients and Combat Simulations.

The tutorial then introduces a four step process to matching fidelity goals to learning for a wide range of training applications that cover the full gamut of militarily relevant training. Examples include surgical skills, behavioral interven-tions, and fire control systems. The tutorial then discusses alternatives to fidelity that improve training experience flow while enhancing user perception of fidelity though exploration of Interaction, Responsiveness and Abstraction. The concept of Bending Fidelity to meet training requirements is also introduced with a live example with Conversational Avatars and another using Tactical Triage. Finally, a comprehensive case study for fidelity is shared and walked through as a capstone activity to creating meaningful experiences and making fidelity judgment calls.

At the end of the tutorial, participants will be presented with sufficient ex-amples to build a solid familiarity with best fidelity practices and how they fit with technology-based training experience. For some, this tutorial will help par-ticipants become more astute consumers and evaluators of training simulations.

For others, this tutorial will help participants who desire to create new training content as they navigate fidelity judgment calls critical to technology develop-ment and effective learning outcomes.

• W 3 0 7 A MANAGING LEARNING RESOURCES THROUGH USE OF METADATA STANDARDS 23T27 Improving Human Performance Outcomes depends on the provisioning of learning resources to the individual at the appropriate opportunity. When scaled to an entire workforce, logistical challenges may arise and optimization meth-ods should be deployed. In order to have technology, including artificial intelli-gence, act as the intermediary for opportunity and optimization, the appropriate amount of data, particularly metadata, about Learning Resources and their cor-responding events is required.

When Courseware Based Training (CBT) became popular in the late 1990s metadata was used, usually unsuccessfully, to create repositories of Learning Re-sources that were intended to be shared across Communities of Practice (COP).

Recent efforts in metadata standards, coupled with the advancement of AI, have re-vitalized COPs to attempt to define and enable use cases for learning-based metadata.

This tutorial will describe the learning ecosystem that can be created by metadata and how current standards can be leveraged for success. Specific use cases that can be met through the use of metadata will be described and solu-tions presented. These use cases include, but are not limited to search, discov-ery, application within learning, optimization of both learners and the resources themselves, and lifecycle management of learning resources. The landscape of available metadata standards, and particularly how they can be combined, will be described in great detail and attendees will have the opportunity to model such solutions in accordance with these standards. These standards are centered around the LRMI vocabulary from the Learning Resource Metadata Innova-tion (LRMI) workgroup of Dublin Core Metadata Initiative and IEEE Learning Metadata Terms (P2881) efforts but will include other metadata standards and are applicable beyond. The benefits of using Resource Description Framework (RDF) best practices will be described and realized in the tutorial and accompa-nying learner-created metadata graph.

P2881 is an effort created by those familiar with legacy metadata standards used in the Shareable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) and how those failed in application. P2881 attempts to define a small core model applica-ble to all types of Learning Resources that is applicable to solving particular use cases and leaving the further definition of types, such as courses, to respective COPs. A core component of P2881 is the distinction between Learning Resourc-es and Learning Events. Learning Resources are defined by LRMI and have been thoroughly defined and accepted the standards community. Learning Events are instantiations or opportunities of Learning Resources that are bound by time, materials, and human capital.

• W 3 0 0 - T H E AT R E PUTTING THE WHEN AND WHERE INTO SIMULATIONS 23T68 All simulations take place somewhere on terrain or in the sea or atmosphere, amidst natural and man-made structures. The action takes place at a particular time of day and season of the year. These descriptors of the when and where of a simulation are not simply visual effects, but in a constructive or virtual world they provide a real context for the behaviors of humans, vehicles, sensors, com-munications and weapons. This tutorial is intended to introduce the simu-lation user and developer to the fine art of creating the environmental play-ground for a simulation. The tutorial will cover the land (but sparingly as there is another tutorial on land), atmosphere and the ocean, citing sources for data and the problems that typically exist in the original source data as well as those that inevitably result from combining information from a variety of diverse sources. The difference between geo-specific and geo-typical will be discussed and why one is chosen over the other. The issues of correlation will be illustrat-ed within a single domain (just land features), across different simulations, and across domains (correlating land, sea, and air). The tutorial illustrates how the environment and its changes affect simulated entities - vehicles and sensors in particular. Finally, the tutorial shows how a dynamic environment can be de-veloped and provided to the simulation. As part of the discussion, the tutorial will direct attention to the DoD-provided sources for creating a reasonably correlated virtual environment and the emerging international standards for representing environmental data. The effects of the environment span not only the domains of land, sea, and air, but electromagnetics, space and cyber by way of communications effects.

• W 3 0 5 A B A PROCESS FOR DISTRIBUTED LVC INTEGRATION AND EXECUTION 23T28 Integration and execution of large distributed Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) events consume substantial time and resources. While the underlying distributed LVC technologies are mature, the processes for integrating events are not. The IEEE Std 1730-2010 Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) standard defines a process model for developing an event. DSEEP de-fines a set of seven steps divided into activities. The process model provides repre-sentative inputs and outputs for each activity. However, the user still must instanti-ate the process and develop artifact templates. The development of a robust process based on DSEEP is a substantial effort.

The goal of the process is to produce a verified distributed LVC environment to conduct the event. While distributed LVC environments can be created with-out using a process, not using a process adds risks to the event. The first risk is that the integration fails, and it may be difficult to discover the reason. The sec-ond risk is that the unverified environment produces invalid results that might not be apparent until the results are used.

An instantiation of DSEEP was developed based on the authors integration and execution of many distributed LVC events. This implementation has nine steps, divided into 27 activities. This process adds two additional steps to the process. One of the steps adds a tabletop wargaming step to work through the requirements. The second additional step develops a digital twin of the target sys-tem. A detailed set of processes, templates, and guidance on how to perform the selected activities is provided. The process covers the integration of simulations and tactical systems to meet the objectives of the LVC event.

The tutorial will provide an overview of the complete process. Selected steps are described in more detail. This will provide the detailed inputs, tasks, outputs, and examples for each activity in the step. The process includes issues related to distributed LVC environments using multiple distributed simulation architec-tures, live entities, and cyber.

The process described in this tutorial was developed to support distributed LVC Test and Evaluation. However, the process applies to research and devel-opment, training, and experimentation. This tutorial is beneficial for anyone involved in the integration and execution of large distributed events. The tutorial is particularly beneficial for engineers tasked with planning and executing dis-tributed events. The tutorial does not require knowledge of the DSEEP standard.

• W 3 0 6 A B GETTING UX - UNDERSTANDING UX AND HOW TO ACQUIRE IT 23T67 As data and technology become increasingly intertwined in everything we do, User Experience (UX) design - the intentional creation of an experience that offers utility and value to the end user - is even more critical to mission success for our warfighters. In the military, poorly designed experiences, often involving software, processes, and tools - those with bad UX - have critical consequences for our warfighter. Bad UX serves as a detriment to battlefield outcomes and mis-sion success, overloading warfighter processing capabilities, introducing errors into the mission, and potentially compounding those errors to such an extent that it results in mission failure and loss of life.

In the modeling, simulation and wargaming communities, good UX can help:

• Generate requirements for products that are based on end user input

• Iteratively design and test experiences with end users

• Focus solutions on solving the right problem and avoid over-engineering solu-tions that are solving unnecessary problems This tutorial will explain the UX design process and explain how it reduces overall risk to delivery. Participants will also learn how incorporating UX de-

We will also discuss how to acquire UX capabilities to support your next project.

This tutorial is for those interested in understanding the basic principles of UX and how these principles can be applied in processes like waterfall and agile within the modeling and simulation and the U.S. Government. Project managers, software developers, acquisition professionals and anyone who wants to deliver better experiences to the warfighter should attend. No background knowledge of UX is required to fully participate in this session.

• W 3 0 7 C USING OMG DDS FOR SECURE INTEROPERABILITY BETWEEN MULTIPLE DISTRIBUTED LVC SIMULATORS 23T21 This tutorial outlines the use of the Object Management Groups Data Distribu-tion Service (DDS) standard in distributed LVCsimulation, with a focus on the security capabilities provided by DDS. DDS provides a comprehensive middle-ware solution for data distribution, and its security features are crucial for LVC simulation in sensitive environments. The tutorial covers DDS fundamentals, such as configuring DDS for LVC simulation, designing DDS entities and the DDS data model, and integrating DDS with LVC simulations. It also highlights best practices and case studies for DDS implementation. Additionally, the tu-torial emphasizes the security features of DDS, such as authentication, access control, data encryption, and data integrity, which are essential for securing data in distributed simulation environments.

Integrating global simulation training systems can be a formidable chal-lenge. Legacy simulators often use different standards. Modern architectures require the use of cloud-based distributed assets. To top it off, security re-quirements now force integrators to become experts in information assurance.

Winning solutions will be ones who create synthetic training environments that can quickly be assembled and reconfigured from ready-made components.

How can simulation systems integrators keep pace by limiting integration time to meet these requirements? Attend this tutorial to learn how the Object Man-agement Groups Data Distribution Service (DDS) can ease integration, while also delivering National Security Agency tested security for distributed training systems over any transport.

This tutorial introduces the DDS and DDS Security standards. You will learn how to use the DDS Security standard to securely interoperate with real-world systems that already communicate over DDS, to distributed LVC Simulations.

The tutorial will further describe how to integrate DDS with existing sim-ulation standards, simulation object modes, and data models of any kind, al-lowing for a large suite of qualities of service to help fine-tune performance and scalability, while also providing robust security for individual entities and topics of simulation data. Next the tutorial will introduce you to the Real-Time WAN Transport that extends DDS capabilities to enable secure, scalable, and high-performance communication over WANs, TDL, RF and public 5G net-works. The Real-Time WAN Transport uses UDP as the underlying IP trans-port-layer protocol to better anticipate and adapt to the challenges of diverse network conditions.

By following this tutorial, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to implement DDS for secure and reliable data distribution in LVC sim-ulations.

• W 3 0 7 D CREATING A DATA STRATEGY AND LEARNING ANALYTICS 23T30 Understanding data strategy, analytics, and key performance indicators is critical to the successful application of learning analytics in an organization. Many or-ganizations develop and deploy expensive training solutions but do not include a comprehensive data strategy and analytics plan. As a result organizations may not understand how their learning content is used, when students require inter-vention, and when and how to update content so that learning is more effective and efficient.

This tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of designing and imple-menting an effective data strategy for learning analytics. Participants will gain knowledge and skills necessary to document algorithms, metrics, and visualiza-tion requirements to create effective analytics. The tutorial will include the de-velopment of a short data strategy to address a sample use case. Attendees will perform an evaluation of the key performance indicators by determining how to evaluate data visualizations. Participants will leave the tutorial with a solid understanding of the main functions of learning analytics, the components of a data strategy, and how to apply these concepts in practice.

This tutorial is for data scientists, xAPI professionals, learning content de-velopers, and instructional designers who have a requirement for or interest in learning analytics and visualizations.

SUSTAINING A GLOBAL FORCE IN A DIGITAL WORLD

79 DOWNLOAD MOBILE APP 1430 - 1600 MONDAY, 27 NOVEMBER TUTORIALS critical skills to instill muscle memory, embody actions, and formulate critical thinking. By utilizing an integrated approach of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality technologies, eXtended Reality (XR) training can provide a contextualized virtual environment (which links the learning of foundational skills to practical scenarios and operational stressors) with augmented overlays and real-world ob-jects (to scaffold instruction via multimodal cues tied to the real-world) creating a fully immersive and highly engaging training environment. When XR training applications are embodied and accessible an opportunity exists to provide psy-chomotor practice in a highly engaging environment leading to significant pro-ficiency gains in both primary and refresher training. Providing trainees immer-sive, hands-on XR training anytime, anywhere using applications downloaded to a mobile device enables consumption to be readily available and learner centered offering an action-oriented option very different from traditional classroom and remote training.

It is crucial when developing XR training solutions to evaluate the utility of the novel contextually based design elements and embodied interactions afforded by XR. This challenge is further complicated when implementing XR training using handheld mobile devices. XR does not have a proven, common mental map for the way users expect to interact with XR content on a mobile device es-pecially when spatial movement is required. It is critical to build systems and UI/

UX interaction capabilities that optimize users expected interaction paradigm with future facing technology.

This Emerging and Innovative Concepts tutorial will dive into the key el-ements of a mobile immersive training platform that leverages andragogical-ly-based activities and formative assessments to infer trainee proficiency by pro-viding insights into: key drivers of immersive, accessible training in XR; potential implementation barriers and technical challenges to embodied training in XR when using mobile devices; value-added case studies with end-user feedback; and user-centered guidelines for designing, developing and implementing mobile XR training systems. By the end of this tutorial, attendees will be able to implement effective techniques for developing and implementing immersive, accessible mo-bile XR training applications based on case studies in the military medical, trans-portation, logistics, and maintenance domains.

• W 3 0 8 B ACCREDITATION OF SIMULATION-BASED EXPERIMENTS: BEYOND THE M&S 23T22 The Department of the Army has no individual or organization that accredits simulation-based experimentation (SIMEXp). Army Regulations require that the models and simulations (M&S) be accredited-but not any of the other com-ponents required to execute a SIMEXp. The purpose of this tutorial is present a framework for SIMEXp accreditation and enable attendees to understand all of the areas which much be accredited for the overall accreditation of a SIMEXp.

Accreditation of the M&S will be discussed as it serves as the foundation for an overall accreditation, but there are other equally important components requir-ing separate accreditations. Attendees will be able to identify the components of tactical and operational scenario which must be validated by current warfighters-and that the person who accredits those aspects must have credible knowledge of the current state of doctrine, military organizations, and operational concepts (friendly and enemy) to be studied. Nothing in the Armys regulatory accredi-tation of the M&S addresses the physical and computational environment on which the SIMEXp is conducted. For example, if the company commander would only know the happenings of a subordinate platoons area of operations by what is reported on by voice or texted on a mission command system, then the SIMEXp should be physically structured to reflect those same conditions. Not only must the M&S be accredited, but also the hardware and network on which it is running to ensure processors are robust enough to execute as required, the network transmission speeds are sufficient and no packets are being lost during execution. Finally, attendees will learn how to design and assess the analytical methods used during a SIMEXp to ensure accreditation of the analytical portion of the SIMEXp. The analysis plan, data collection and reduction methodology, and computational methods for analyzing the data must all be documented and accredited in a peer-reviewed final report in order for the overall SIMEXp to be accredited. This tutorial is for those interested in gaining a better understanding of proper SIMEXp design and why more than just the M&S must be accredited.

The methodology learned also can be applied to improve simulation-enabled training events and wargames.

• W 3 0 8 C GENERATIVE AI APPLIED TO RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF SIMULATION AND MODELING ASSETS 23T52 Simulation environments, virtual and otherwise, are often bottlenecked by the content creation process of art design, graphical modeling, and data integration.

This asset development pipeline is slow and costly, requiring specialized labor that can complicate the logistics or expose the operational security of a training objec-tive. However, the emerging field of generative AI allows one individual to direct a single computer to build libraries of relevant, usable materials through simple voice or text prompts. Once the tools have fully matured, the net increase in productivity and speed will likely be measured in multiple orders of magnitude.

This tutorial will review and critically analyze modern sim production work-flows against the next-generation approach of directed AI, and explore the nu-merous possible trajectories of this highly disruptive new technology. The audi-ence will gain a deep understanding of the current generative AI methodologies with a particular emphasis on applied utility rather than theoretical potential.

• W 3 0 8 D INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS 23T69 Understanding the experimental design process is fundamental to conducting effi-cient and effective tests and model and simulation experiments. This tutorial aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the test design process, with practical examples and demonstrations. Our goal is to provide you with the skills to create a good test design and effectively communicate statistical results in reports.

The tutorial begins with an introduction that explores the test design frame-work and explains the concept and purpose of experimental design. We then delve into the various aspects of planning, design selection and evaluation, and the analysis of an experimental design. Within the planning phase, we cover the essential elements such as identifying test objectives, response variables, and factor selection. We then provide an overview of different types of experimental designs and their purpose. In evaluating a test design, we discuss important met-rics like power and confidence that are used to ensure adequate data collection and assess the quality of the design. Lastly, we cover some best practices for analysis and reporting, such as avoiding data roll-ups, incorporating interval estimates, and utilizing high-level graphical summaries to effectively communi-cate the results.

By the end of the tutorial, you will have gained a better understanding of the test design process and will be equipped with valuable insights and techniques for creating and analyzing experimental designs.

REBUILDING AFTER A ZOMBIE CRISIS 23W7 Presenter: Tamara Griffith, Ph.D., U.S. Army DEVCOM SC STTC; Patricia Bockelman, Ph.D., SAIC; Joan Johnston, Ph.D.; Sarah Matthews, Ph.D.,

Health Communications Consultants Inc.; Lisa Townsend, U.S. Army DEVCOM SC STTC; Grant Johnston WE SURVIVED THE APOCALYPSE!!!...Now what?

This workshop takes participants through a post-crisis timeline in which the decisions and actions taken today will impact scenarios tomorrow. This is an interdisciplinary exploration of how a civilized society mightthrive, orfailto survive, after a potential infrastructure collapse. While the scenario uses meta-phor for engagement (the zombies), it is inspired by a combination of real-world events involving public health, national security, and public resources (e.g. trans-portation, supply chain, cyber/information).Nested in this fictional storyline, participants will establish needed resources, skills, and new social norms and by doing so, these participants will create the world that next years I/ITSEC partic-ipants inherit. Participant groups will represent various perspectives as they try to transition from survival to recovery and (hopefully) thriving. While the storyline is fantastic, the scenarios pose challenges that call for real decision-mak-ing strategies, negotiation skills, and short-/long-term planning; the scenarios demand the same types of skills as actual recovery requires. This is intended to be a multi-year exploration with the results of the previous year feeding a paper for the next year, and a workshop that starts where the previous years workshop ends pursuing a stable and sustainable future. The immediate and longitudinal data from this format will provide insights into tacit knowledge involved in complex team problem-solving. Come for the fun; learn from the insights!

You may have outlived the zombies, but can you thrive with whatever un-folds next? At the end of the workshop participants should understand the 4 dimensions of teamwork and how team self-correction during an after action review can improve teamwork.

• ROOM W208A DEMYSTIFYING LEARNING ENGINEERING AND IMMERSIVE DESIGN: THE WORKSHOP 23W12 Presenters: Jeanine DeFalco, Ph.D., University of New Haven; Marina Halter, Emily Ouellette Designing virtual reality (VR) training simulations may not seem difficult at a glance, but even the simplest interactions can be complex in the VR space.

In this workshop, participants will experience what its like to go through the design process, create a prototype, and iterate until a final product is produced.

Participants will review the basics of learning engineering, immersive design, and constructivist learning theory, and come to understand how these disciplines are leveraged to construct training simulations. Participants will identify important traits, skills, and capabilities that combine into up-skilling an immersive learn-ing engineer. Participants will be introduced to how learning engineering com-bines fundamentals of instructional designers and learning experience designers (LXDs) while simultaneously engaging in collaborative design work as part of a cross-functional design team. Best practices for engineering dynamic immersive learning experiences will be discussed.

PDW 6

• ROOM W208B COGNITIVE LOAD ASSESSMENT DURING TRAINING IN IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENTS 23W13 Presenter: Andrew Beall, Ph.D., Matthias Pusch, Bryce Armstrong, Todd Hartwig, WorldViz VR Join us for a hands-on workshop where we will explore the measurement of cognitive load and the application of immersive training simulators. Researchers and developers will delve into projection-based simulation room technology, a robust alternative to head-mounted displays, offering enhanced realism and in-teraction capabilities vital for standardized training processes. With the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) protocol serving as our case study, participants will learn to integrate cognitive load measurements into simulation scenarios.

Attendees will gain practical experience with an immersive projection system and learn how to capture 360 degree photographic scenes for evoking contextual cues. An experimental session will allow some participants to have their cognitive load measured under various conditions, and then all participants will be able to conduct real-time data analysis guidance using open-source tools. This workshop is designed to equip attendees with an understanding of cognitive load mea-surement, immersive training technology, and data analysis for effective training simulator development.

• ROOM W308C USING DDS FOR DISTRIBUTED TRAINING SIMULATORS 23W4 Presenter: Andre Odermat, John Breitenbach, Real-Time Innovations This workshop outlines the use of the Object Management Group (OMG)

Data Distribution Service (DDSTM) standard in distributed Live, Virtual,

& Constructive (LVC) simulation, with a focus on the security capabilities provided by DDS. DDS provides a comprehensive middleware solution for data distribution, and its security features are crucial for LVC simulation in sensi-tive environments. The tutorial covers DDS fundamentals, such as configuring DDS for LVC simulation, designing DDS entities and the DDS data model, and integrating DDS with LVC simulations. It also highlights best practices and case studies for DDS implementation. Additionally, the tutorial emphasizes the security features of DDS, such as authentication, access control, data encryption, and data integrity, which are essential for securing data in distributed simulation environments.

Integrating global simulation training systems can be a formidable challenge.

Legacy simulators often use different standards. Modern architectures require the use of cloud-based distributed assets. To top it off, security requirements now force integrators to become experts in information assurance. Winning solutions will be the ones that create synthetic training environments that can quickly be assembled and reconfigured from ready-made components.How can simu-lation systems integrators keep pace by limiting integration time to meet these requirements? Attend this tutorial to learn how DDS can ease integration, while also delivering National Security Agency (NSA)-tested security for distributed training systems over any transport.

• ROOM W208C DISRUPT, DESIGN, DEPLOY:

A HUMAN-CENTERED APPROACH TO LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT 23W14 Presenter: Sydney Heimbrock, Ph.D., Ryan Twedell, Cydney Miller, Qualtrics The discipline of Learning Engineering has emerged as mission critical for en-abling evidence-based designs for improved learning outcomes. Harvard Uni-versitys Huntington Lambert defines Learning Engineers as understanding the who an organization is teaching, and the what the learning must deliver, in order to design the how of learning experiences. Because humans are at the center of this challenge, the methods and tools of human centered design are critical for effective learning design, development and delivery. This work-shop will give participants an immersive experience in Human Centered Design (HCD) for Learning and Development. The workshop will kick off with a brief presentation framing the value, history and outcomes of HCD as it relates to the future of learning. Participants will learn and practice HCD by applying the framework, methods and tools to a real government learning experience use case.

Participants will learn the four key phases of the HCD process:

• Discover

• Reframe

• Implement, measure and continuously improve For each phase of the HCD process, facilitators will present the principles, methods and tools, then support participant small groups to apply them in the room to design the future of learning in their organizations. Participants will then explore how to apply HCD to digital learning ecosystems through automat-ed qualitative data collection and analysis. Participants will leave the workshop educated, inspired and equipped to apply a human centered approach to their learning design, delivery and evaluation strategies.

I/ITSEC REGISTRATION SERVICES FOR 2023 We strive to minimize the time spent in line so you can move on to the conference events or the exhibit floor. Our goal is to make your I/ITSEC experience a pleasant one even before you enter the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC). Avoid that line and move on to what you came to I/ITSEC to do!

Traditional Registration Stations. Located in West Lobby A of the West Concourse Registration area, traditional walk-up registration will be available for Full Service Registration, on-site payments, chang-es/edits to name badges, multiple badge pick-ups, or just because you prefer dealing one-to-one with a real person.

Alternate Registration Stations within the Orange County Convention Center. Limited stations at the Main Registration Station will be open Friday and Saturday to handle early registration, especially exhibitors. There will be signage noting QR codes for those who need to register on-site using personal cell phones or laptops. Attendees are encouraged to pre-register and utilize the Self Badging stations once on-site.

Self-badging printing stations are only available for those who pre-registered and received a confirma-tion QR code. To complete your registration at this station, you must be paid in full with no outstanding balance or questions remaining about your registration.

Speakers (including Paper Presenters) will have special registration stations. More details will be provided to speakers/presenters, but be sure to watch for signage pointing to these areas.

Registration outside of the Orange County Convention Center. I/ITSEC full-service satellite regis-tration will be located at the Main Lobby of the Hyatt Regency, adjacent to hotel check in, from Sunday noon through Tuesday. These stations will be staffed to assist you whether you need to start your registration from scratch or just need to pick up your nametags.

2023 INTERSERVICE/INDUSTRY TRAINING, SIMULATION AND EDUCATION CONFERENCE DOWNLOAD MOBILE APP SAFETY & SECURITY SECURITY TRAINING BEFORE THE CONFERENCE Technology collection directives contain mandates requiring exhibitors and presenters to receive a counterintelligence (CI) briefing from their CI support staff prior to I/ITSEC. Contractors with classified contracts may contact their Defense Security Service Special Agents. To avoid security breaches, I/ITSEC presenters and exhibitors should ensure that the required briefing has been received. A list of CI support agencies follows. Please contact your security officer/

manager and ensure that an appropriate briefing for yourself and your colleagues is arranged. Providers of the briefings are:

Army

902 Military Intelligence Navy, USMC, Coast Guard

Naval Criminal Investigative Service Air Force

Air Force Office of Special Investigation Contractors

Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (formerly Defense Security Service)

PERSONAL SECURITY The most important thing to protect, of course, is yourself. Pay attention to your surroundings. Report suspicious behavior or security breaches to a security person or NTSA staff. Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures and exits at your hotel and the Convention Center. Please note that security surveil-lance cameras are in place throughout the conference and exhibit areas.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES EMT and/or paramedics will be on-site during I/ITSEC (including hall build-up and teardown). During I/ITSEC 2023 they will be located near registration, in Med Room 4, near the escalators at the A2 entrance. Dial 911 for life threatening emergencies. For non-emergencies within the center, dial 5-9809 or on your cell dial (407) 685-9809, or alert any security or I/ITSEC staff member with a radio.

BAGS AND BRIEFCASES Bags and briefcases may be carried in by those wearing Conference Attendee or Exhibitor badges. Exhibit Visitors (those who are only visiting the exhibits) WILL NOT be allowed to carry in bags or briefcases. A check room will be available in the main registration area. A small purse or fanny pack is allowed, but is subject to search. Additional security restrictions may be posted on http://www.iitsec.org and on signage at the conference. Conference Management reserves the right to adjust security levels as deemed necessary during the conference.

PRESENTATIONS Recording devices will not be permitted in the presentation rooms, unless authorized by the conference management. Presenters and Ex-hibitors should review their companys policy documents and those of the government agencies with whom you contract regarding open distribution, limited distribution, restricted distribution, and sharing limitations.

CAMERAS Exhibitors have the right to limit photographs and videos of their displays. Please respect this right by asking before photographing or videotaping. Participants found taking photos or videos without the consent of the presenters or exhibitors will be dealt with according to security procedures, to possibly include confiscation of materials and removal from the premises.
