Technology continues to rapidly evolve, including the prominent integration of autonomous capabilities. Systems - including those intended for the military, homeland security, and first response domains - are moving closer to being fully autonomous every day. Every emergent system and new capability require some form of assessment; presently, test and evaluation is unable to keep pace with this technology evolution, ultimately slowing their development, assessment, certification, and adoption.
The Development, Test, Evaluation, Verification & Validation (DTEVV) Workshop will bring together T&E and autonomous systems professionals from the United States government, academia, and industry to roadmap out the priority research and workforce challenges that need to be addressed to advance the DTEVV of these technologies.
As a workshop participant, you will:
- Provide input toward a T&E of Autonomy curriculum that will shape the future workforce
- Highlight existing and projected research priorities in the autonomous system landscape that will require T&E
- Hear lessons learned and best practices from other T&E of autonomous systems practitioners
- Contribute your T&E of autonomous systems 'wants' and 'needs' to the conversation to help develop priority roadmap topic areas
This workshop is being hosted by the University of Maryland Clark School MATRIX Lab in partnership with the University of Maryland Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS).
