The 2023 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 played a role in helping to identify 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.
