Virginia Tech Applied Research Corporation's Decision Science Division (DSD), led by Dr. Maegen Nix, hosted over 40 experts from the Department of Defense Test & Evaluation (T&E), operational, and research communities for the FY24 Joint Test Concept (JTC) Workshop 2 – T&E Simulation. The June 5, 2024, event served as the second workshop in a series of three design-based collaborations. DSD developed and executed a decision-making simulation that challenged participants to unlock their intellectual capacity and tackle a complex operational scenario, applying and assessing the JTC reference architecture concepts created from pervious workshops. Utilizing dynamic and fast-past activities, participants found innovative solutions while defining and employing emerging JTC best practices. If you are interested in getting involved in future JTC events, contact Natalie Wells or Grant Beanblossom. #T&E #collaboration #DoD #Research #simulation #workshop #TestTheWayWeFight #ReimaginingT&E

The 5G Security Test Bed (STB), affiliated with CTIA, recently released a new report on security in 5G network slicing. Their recent test and validation of several network slicing security scenarios has led to the development of enhanced wireless network security, strengthening the 5G network slicing 3GPP standard. VT-ARC is proud to be entrusted with hosting and operating the 5G STB at its Wireless Systems Applied Research & Development (WiSARD) Lab in Arlington, VA, helping to enhance the wireless security ecosystem and ensure the continued rollout of secure 5G networks. To learn more, see the full report and one-pager here: https://lnkd.in/eZ_x7WJ5 #5G #Cybersecurity #nextG #CTIA
The wireless industry’s 5G Security Test Bed released its latest report on 5G network slicing. Its tests led to the development of enhanced wireless network security and user data protections, strengthening 3GPP standards for 5G network slicing. This testing demonstrates the #5G Security Test Bed’s value as a platform for investigating and validating potential vulnerability scenarios in real-world conditions, providing validation of use cases that had previously been discussed only in theory. The full report, highlights, and one-pager are available here: https://bit.ly/3yZ4tgG

Virginia Tech Applied Research Corporation (VT-ARC) was proud to host the Future Directions Workshop for Embodied Intelligence on May 19-20 at the K-Hotel in Seoul, South Korea. Sponsored by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the Future Directions Workshop series aims to examine emerging research and engineering areas that are most likely to transform future technology capabilities. The workshop on Embodied Intelligence was a joint effort with VT-ARC, BRO, and the South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE). The workshop gathered over twenty-six top researchers from both the United States and South Korea to discuss challenges and opportunities in Embodied Intelligence S&T and provide recommendations for research trajectories. VT-ARC Staff Dr. Sithira Ratnayaka, PhD, Dr. Kate Klemic, Sean Lemkey, and Jae Kwak helped organize and lead the workshop, along with Dr. Kyujin Cho, Dr. Yong-Lae Park, and Dr. Robert Shepherd. The Department of Defense, represented by Dr. Jean-Luc Cambier, Director of Research Programs within the Basic Research Office, and Dr. Dai Hyun Kim, Assistant Director for Artificial Intelligence & Trusted AI and Autonomy, also discussed initial workshop outcomes with leadership from MOTIE to help inform research directions.
