1. Mscdid Will Host The Fy25 Adp S&t Forum. The Adp S&t Forum Will Examine Capabilities Andconcepts Designed To Address Modernization Needs For Maneuver Support And Protection Whilepromoting Collaboration Between Mscdid, Academia, Army Labs & Research Centers, And Industryleaders. 2. Background. The Adp S&t Forum Is A Weeklong In-person Event (virtual Option With Microsoftteams) At Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri Serving To Inform Mscdid On The Status Of Research Effortsaddressing Our Focused Areas For Experimentation In Fy26. Specially, Mscdid Is Looking Fortechnologies That Have A Technology Readiness Level (trl) Of 6 That Could Participate Inexperimentation Events Occurring Fy26. Technologies That Are Trl 5 Or Below That Are Not Ready Forexperimentation Are Welcome To Participate In This Forum If They Also Address The Themes, Focusedareas, Or Army Requirements Specified (see Enclosure 1). Refer To Enclosure 7 For The Definition Ofall Trls. the Experimentation Events Happening In Fy26 (dates To Be Determined) Will Provide A Centralizedexperimentation And Analysis Process For Technologies That May Provide Desired Capabilities,verifies Critical Operational Data, And Makes Recommendations For Further Development Andadditional Improvements Based On The Analysis. These Experimentation Events Will Inform Futurecapability Requirements In Support Of Multi- Domain Operations That Will Directly Align With Thearmy Modernization Priorities. 3. Theme. As We Look To The Army Of The Future In 2040+, Mscdid Looks To Remove Soldiers Fromhazards Through Human Machine Integration (hmi) Using Ai Augmented Autonomous Systems. 4. Focus Areas. Mscdid Will Select Technologies To Be Presented At The Forum Based On Six Focusareas: Wet Gap Crossing, Mobility/freedom Of Movement, Underwater Reconnaissance, Obscuration,rear-area Security, And Mobile Forensics Exploration. See Enclosure 1 For A More Detail Descriptionof The Capabilities Mscdid Is Seeking For Each Focus Area. 5. Technology Submission And Selection Process. a. All Proposals Must Be Submitted Electronically To The Point Of Contact (poc) Nlt 31 January 25.mscdid Will Select Technologies To Be Presented And Provide Final Coordinating Instructions Andtimeline For The Forum Nlt 10 February 25. See Enclosure 2 For Detailed Instructions On How Tosubmit A Proposal For Consideration. 6. Event Execution. The First Day, 25 February 2025, Is A Day For Mscdid To Talk About Applicableconcepts And Requirements Efforts To Set The Foundation For The Rest Of The Week. Mscdid’s Battlelab Will Brief The Current Planning Timeline For Experimentation In Fy26 And Go Over Requirementsto Attend The Experiments. Then Mscdid Will Start To Receive Presentations From Selected Vendorsorganized By The Six Fy26 Experimentation Focus Areas. Currently, Each Focus Area Will Have Fourslots For Vendors To Brief Technologies, See Enclosure 6 For Specific Time Slots Per Focus Area. this Is A Draft Timeline And Given Submissions, The Amount Of Slot Per Focus Area May Change. Eachvendor Will Be Afforded 30 Minutes In All (15 Minutes To Brief And 15 Minutes For Q&a). If Thebriefer Takes Questions In-stride A Total Of 30 Minutes Will Be Allocated For The Topic. Allbriefings Given By Mscdid Will Be In-person And Streamed Over Ms Teams. Vendors Have The Option Topresent Their Capabilities In-person Or Virtual Using Microsoft Teams. The Adp S&t Pocs Willestablish And Send Out Ms Teams Invites To Briefers And Participants And Will Display And Runbriefers Presentations If Virtual. See Timeline Below For All Deadlines For Submission Of Proposalsand Presentation Materials. 7. Timeline.
