Description
Synthetic Internet and Training Symposium (SITS) 01-03 June 2022 RSVP NLT 29 April 2022 11:59 PM ET Purpose SOFWERX, in collaboration with 4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne) 1st�Special Forces Command (Airborne), and United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) will host a Symposium to gather Warfighters, Industry, Academia, and National labs to learn more about currently available synthetic internet environments, how those current environments are useful now, what DoD�s long-term vision for synthetic internet might look like, and what gaps exist between the current-state and their long-term vision. The 3-day event will consist of a Demonstration Day, a Collaboration Event, and a Government Only Session. Background/Synopsis Various synthetic internet capabilities exist in nascent form (e.g., replicating the internet within the safe isolation of training exercises). These capabilities range in utility based on: compatibility with third-party internet tools, interoperability for training between different units and Commands, levels of automation for generating realistic synthetic internet environments in time and scale, and complexity of machine behavioral responses. Objective Educate leaders and innovators on the current state of synthetic internet capabilities. Define our future state/long-term vision by: Uncovering collective concerns and future needs. Ideating on the potential for future training capabilities, from the individual Information Advantage (IA) Soldier level to a Theater Army Commander. Encapsulate critical requirements for the next generation synthetic environment stemming from identified gaps for each of the IA Stakeholders DOTMLPF-P integration. Why You Should�Participate USSOCOM seeks to enter into non-FAR or FAR-based agreements with Industry, Academic, and National Lab partners whose solutions are favorably evaluated by USSOCOM Subject Matter Experts. As such, the follow-on Assessment Event (AE) is considered competitive in the same manner as a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) or Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO), and solutions will be evaluated independently of one another primarily for technical merit. This serves dually as notification of the intent to research the feasibility of an agreement under 10 U. S. Code, Section 2371b and/or Section 2371b(f), and as notice of pre-solicitation activities IAW FAR 5.204. 01 June 2022 Industry Demonstration Day/Expo�(Submit NLT 29 April) SOFWERX and 4th POG will host an Industry Demonstration Day to explore various synthetic internet capabilities with the intent to potentially inform DoD�s long-term vision for synthetic internet. Interested respondents who could potentially provide solutions that are of interest to USSOCOM are encouraged to submit their solutions for review. To submit your technology for potential Demonstration Day attendance, please follow the submission instructions near the bottom of this webpage. Favorably evaluated submissions will receive an invitation to attend the Demonstration Day o/a 12 April. During the event, invited participants will be given a table in an expo hall with the opportunity to have a one-on-one session with Government Stakeholders to demonstrate and/or discuss their solutions.� 01 June 2022 Tentative Agenda All times listed in ET 0800 � 0810: Admin Remarks / Agenda Review 0810 � 0900: Keynote Speaker 0900 � 0910: Break 0910 � 1000: Capability Briefs 1000 � 1010: Break 1010 � 1100: Capability Briefs 1100 � 1200: Lunch 1200 � 1250: Capability Briefs 1250 � 1300: Break 1300 � 1350: Capability Briefs 1350 � 1400: Break 1400 � 1450: Capability Briefs 1450 � 1500: Break 1500 � 1550: Capability Briefs 1550 � 1600: Daily Recap Note: Agenda is subject to change 02 June 2022 Collaboration Event (CE)�(Request to Attend NLT 29 April) The Collaboration Event (CE) will be a compelling opportunity for the leading minds in Industry, Laboratory, Academic, and Non-Traditional fields to better understand and influence current synthetic internet environment needs. The event will be focused on identifying collective concerns and limitations, ways to overcome them, which determines future needs, and developing Blue Sky presentations so that potential technologies may be better applied to future efforts. During this event, Warfighters will interact with selected Industry, Academic, Laboratory, and Non-Traditional partners to further communicate operational needs, and/or desirements. This CE is also an opportunity for attendees to meet and form partnerships that may provide a more comprehensive solution.�Participation in the event is not mandatory, however, it is designed to provide insights to ensure potential offerors understand the problem set(s) and increase the likelihood of matching technologies with SOF Warfighters� needs.�Request to attend the CE below,�NLT 29 April 2022. 02 June 2022 Tentative Agenda All times listed in ET 0800 � 0830: Attendee Check-In 0830 � 0845: SOFWERX Welcome & Intro�s 0845 � 0915: Stakeholder Problem Set and Overview� 0915 � 0935: Collective Concerns & Limitations Round 1 0935 � 0940: Break� 0940 � 1000:?Collective Concerns & Limitations Round 2 1000 � 1100: Future Needs (Overcoming Collective Concerns & Limitations)� 1100 � 1230: Lunch� 1230 � 1430: �Blue Sky� Action Plans Working Groups� 1430 � 1530: �Blue Sky� Action Plan Briefs 1545 � 1615: Voting 1615 � 1645: Wrap Up and Path Forward Note: Agenda is subject to change 03 June 2022 Government Only Session�(RSVP NLT 29 April) The Government only session will allow Government Stakeholders to prioritize their needs regarding the synthetic internet environment. 03 June 2022 Tentative Agenda All times listed in ET 0800 � 0810: Agenda Review 0810 � 0850: Solution Briefs 0850 � 0900: Break 0900 � 0950: Solution Briefs 0950 � 1000: Break 1000 � 1050: Solution Briefs 1050 � 1100: Break 1100 � 1200: Closeout Note: Agenda is subject to change Path Forward Successfully negotiated awards may fall under any combination of these categories: Other Transaction Agreements under 10 U.S. Code, Section 2371 or 2371b* (prototyping/production follow-on) Procurement contract for experimental purposes 10 U.
