This interactive panel will share current federal requirements to procure, use, and dispose of our electronics assets in an environmentally responsible manner, and how procuring sustainable electronics can help us to increase our use of advanced materials in electronics, and increase energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in DOD supply chains. Case studies and DoD's efforts in this space will also be covered in the session.
Recent advances in sensor and sensing technology as well as the availability of high-powered compact electronics can enable condition based maintenance of aging and new defense aircraft along with a paradigm shift towards maintenance free aircraft. This panel will discuss maturity of Structural Health Monitoring systems that can be used to enable this vision.
Securing the military supply chain and preventing a doomsday scenario requires a multi-prong approach. Areas of vulnerability need to be addressed. All endpoints including barcode scanners and other IoT devices need to be locked down. The tens of thousands of vendors and sub-contractors supplying the military with components and services need an affordable yet powerful solution to secure their networks. Malware that may have infiltrated networks years before but lies dormant needs to be rooted out before it’s unleashed. Similarly, rogue software, such as Kaspersky’s anti-virus program, thought to have been uninstalled must be found from its hiding place and completed removed. Join us for an interactive panel discussion.
The session will include a brief introduction to AI in the government sector and discuss the power of AI, particularly in performance management and in understanding resident satisfaction in the city. How can cities use data and AI to make better decisions for their residents? How can they integrate data into their work flow? The discussion will center on real use cases and success stories from Corona, California.
Industrial Augmented Reality is and will be a key technology that will facilitate a major paradigm shift in the way users interact with data. As commercial AR has enjoyed increasing success among marketers and gamers, industrial AR, especially in the defense industry, has only just recently been recognized as a viable solution for solving many critical needs (e.g. maintenance, training, operations). There are many different pockets of exploration occurring and our vision is to drive those explorers towards each other so we may all get smarter in ARs uses and applications.
Our energy system is quite vulnerable to EMP and impacts of EMP on the energy system are not well understood. This panel will present current R&D in understanding the potential effects of EMP on our energy system.

This panel will explore key leadership factors required within cities and their partner networks to effectively innovate and successfully move projects from pilot stage to production scale. What really is a smart city, from addressing inclusivity and citizen engagement to reasoned application of new technology and funding sources, to infusing all departments within a city with a culture of innovation and empowerment. We will reveal how success is achieved by aligning the city’s internal ecosystem with the external ecosystem, and creating a city/urban strategy that is smart and creates economic value.
