The 26th Annual Systems and Mission Engineering Conference will convene on October 16 - 19, 2023, at the Hilton Norfolk - The Main, in Norfolk, VA. We invite high-quality professional abstracts for technical presentation.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Systems Engineering Division with co-sponsorship from the NDIA Test & Evaluation Division and NDIA Integrated Program Management Division.
Partnership of these three Divisions is critical to the transformation of Systems Engineering. Key areas of opportunity for benefit from cross-division collaboration include shifting test earlier in the system development lifecycle, digital engineering, modeling, product line engineering, iterative development methods, and new risk models to ensure system survivability and cyber resiliency.
We look to this community and our extended partners to generate innovative ideas, thus reinvigorating the commitment to provide critical system capabilities and ensure US technical capability advantage.
OBJECTIVE
The Systems and Mission Engineering conference brings together defense community members from industry, government, and academia to highlight ways for improving defense acquisition and system performance. This conference provides an interactive forum for Program Managers, Systems Engineers, Chief Scientists, Specialty Engineers and Managers.
