NTSA Cyber Pavilion is the inaugural event at I/ITSEC where Cyber, Electromagnetic, and Information Warfare leaders collaborate to:

• Educate the community on current programs/projects (e.g. Persistent Cyber Training Environment, Electronic Warfare Planning Management Tool (EWPMT), and others)
• Communicate opportunities – (e.g. Electronic Warfare and Cyber at the Tactical Level, integration of capabilities into staffs, EW/Cyber/SIGINT Integration, Understanding Mis/Dis Information Campaigns, etc.)
• Provide current operational unit requirements (US Army Cyber Command, Cyber Center of Excellence, 16^th AF IW Command, Navy and Marines) 
• Capture the Flag Event – demonstration of skills

As the capabilities in these different fields continues to grow in each service, this pavilion will be a platform to help communicate and cooperate on finding solutions to this every changing environment for the not only the US Government and Department of Defense, but other countries and commercial organizations.  Senior leaders from many organizations will speak at the pavilion, get a better understanding of current capabilities, and assist in communicating the needs of their organizations and services – all part of the pavilion objectives.

I/ITSEC in coordination with NTSA has a new forum to help organizations (Government, Industry, and Academia) position to realize high value from rapidly evolving technology.  “The Next Big Thing” looks at both a near term and a long term (3 – 5 year) horizon.  For this year the near term horizon is Extended Realities and how we accelerate its adoption.  To collaborate on this, there is a special event with impactful and recognize speakers presenting and discussing novel perspectives on XR.  To explore the long term horizon, we have a special event consisting of future thought leaders with interesting, unbounded perspectives on what the future will present for our community to factor in strategic positioning.  We call this event “Innovation Megatrends.”

Iron Dev

I/ITSEC is now accepting nominations for its second annual Iron Dev competition at I/ITSEC 2021 29 November –  3 December, 2021.  Submit here no later than 28 October, 2021. 

If you are an organization with developers in the training and simulation industry we are looking for your involvement in this competition to both showcase your team’s skills as well as improve your training system development skills.  Iron Dev is a team competition similar to competitive cooking shows, where teams will be given a challenge and “secret ingredient” to develop a training solution to improve warfighter readiness.  Teams will consist of diverse members with skills in AR/VR development, simulation networking/distribution, graphic design, simulation development, and training development.  Teams will have from November 1, 2021 to December 2, 2021 to develop their system.  On December 2, 2021 the teams will demonstrate their solution in front of a fun and engaging panel of judges in a virtual/online show.  The teams will be given a ‘secret ingredient’ on November, 29, 2021, the first day of I/ITSEC, for integration into their solution for the final show.  Then the teams will be invited to present their solutions live or virtually at I/ITSEC on December 2, 2021 to the judges to determine the Best Overall Solution, Most Innovative Solution, and People’s Choice Solution - one team can win all three categories!
