The Human Performance track will explore how we train the human at the speed of technology at every rank, considering areas such as cognitive resilience, decision-making and trust in autonomous or AI-enabled teammates. This theme will uncover how we rapidly train and upskill on the battlefield for the both the technologies they will use and those they will face. We invite you to submit proposals addressing topics such as human-machine teaming, competency-based training, performance assessment, training effectiveness analytics, and related topics. 

The future of effective defence training hinges on adaptable and advanced infrastructures. The Technologies and Architectures track will delve beyond industry standards to consider where the defence training sector can learn from other industries that are effectively leveraging emerging technologies to seamlessly integrate with pre-existing systems, to allow training to be effective for the modern battlefield. This track welcomes proposals related to open and cloud architectures, interoperable training environments, and solutions for agile learning.

Addressing the urgent need for agile training in rapidly evolving landscapes, the Emerging Solutions track will showcase forward-thinking concepts, pilot programmes and operational case studies that address the challenge of aligning training with both rapid technological advancement and evolving procurement cycles. This track welcomes proposals on training solutions of topics such as synthetic environments, autonomous and uncrewed systems, drones and counter-drone training, low-cost adaptive solutions. It also encourages insights from recent conflicts where the pace of battlefield innovation demands agile, continuous upskilling as systems are continuously replaced or upgraded.
