This is your opportunity to help shape a high‑impact innovation initiative that brings together leading experts from industry, academia, and across the defense ecosystem to advance the future of Marine Corps capabilities. Whether you’re an engineer, technologist, Marine, defense contractor, or researcher, your insights will guide us in building a dynamic event that drives mission readiness, force modernization, and technology adoption across the Fleet Marine Force.
This initiative will support the Corps’ modernization priorities by fostering collaboration, accelerating experimentation, and showcasing solutions that enhance the Marine Corps’ expeditionary advantage. Participants will work side‑by‑side in a fast‑paced, mission-driven environment to conceptualize, prototype, and refine software, hardware, and integrated concepts aligned to Force Design priorities and emerging warfighting needs.
The event will center on providing data, tools, and an innovation-focused plat‐ form to tackle challenges in areas such as:
- Autonomous systems integration
- AI-enabled mission tools and applications
- Contested logistics and sustainment
- Expeditionary communications and C2
- Modeling, simulation, and wargaming
- Maritime and littoral domain awareness
- Joint and coalition interoperability
