Why You Should Attend This Summit:

The FY 2022 budget request for DoD S&T maintained Basic Research program funding at $2.3 billion, which supports traditional fields of interest and emerging fields, such as artificial intelligence/machine learning, understanding human and social behavior, & engineered biology. The 2022 Human Performance & Biosystems Summit will detail efforts across the DoD to assess and optimize performance, nutrition, cognition, and integration with manned, unmanned, and autonomous systems for seamless operation in all domains. Attendees at this event will have the chance to hear from senior level leaders that will explain how sustaining the combat effectiveness of Soldiers and Human–System teams for extended durations in austere, isolated, ambiguous, rapidly evolving environmental extremes is vital. They will also delve into the opportunities that biotechnologies offer & how to enhance Warfighter cognitive capabilities to increase effective decision making.

As the global environment shifts towards strategic competition, the stresses and requirements placed on the Warfighter will require advancements in training, cognition, nutrition, medical care, and human-machine teaming. Speakers at this event will examine how modern Warfighters will need to be mentally and physically resilient to the challenges that they will face while deployed and at home. They will also examine some of the emerging technologies and research being leveraged to enable the US military to maximize the capabilities and performance of its Warfighters across the full spectrum of operations. Lastly, this year’s program will feature a panel of experts from NASA, who are currently working to discover the best methods & technologies to support safe, productive human space travel.

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summit’s content and focus areas. We will assemble the most respected minds in the human performance community, including operational leaders, key policymakers, DoD labs, industry, and academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all involved organizations bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
