The 2024 DE Test & Evaluation Joint Conference on T&E Support to Prototyping and Experimentation
discussed the practical implications of T&E support in prototyping, experimentation and other developmental
activities.
The conference leveraged the DoD vision setforth
in the DoD Prototyping Guidebook and the recent significant
increases in prototyping and experimentation efforts to explore the role of T&E in prototyping, experimentation
and other developmental activities.
Key plenary speakers, panel discussions, and technical sessions together identified challenges, solutions,
innovations and a future state; all contributing to moving us closer to the creation of an infrastructure
and principles, conducive to testing and training in a more operationally realistic environment.
This event was jointly sponsored by DEPS and the International Test & Evaluation Association.
