The Air Force, DoD, and training units are looking for and investing in innovative solutions. This event will
focus on how organizations are bridging the innovative solutions “Valley of Death.” This Valley of Death is the
process of transitioning these technologies and devices from prototype to production and ultimately into the hands
of the warfighter. Accelerating the timeline to get these technologies and devices from the prototype phase and into
the fight can be challenging. This panel will provide an opportunity for I/ITSEC participants to engage with leaders
from Department of Defense and industry experts who have successfully transitioned innovative solutions. The
panel will describe how to leverage the acquisition process and sharpen the warfighters bite.
