EMERGING CAPABILITIES: New technologies employing or producing modeling and simulation tools with meaningful warfighter impact in the next two to five years. Potential topics include digital engineering, M&S at the edge, synthetic data generation, and simulation-driven acquisition.

MISSION READINESS AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE: New applications of existing M&S tools and technologies that improve force preparation, lethality, and survivability. Potential topics include new applications of synthetic training environments, LVC integration, human performance optimization, and simulation-enabled decision support systems. 

AUTONOMY: New capabilities at the intersection of modeling, simulation, and autonomy across the full development-to-employment lifecycle. Potential topics include simulation-based design and testing of autonomous platforms, UxV mission rehearsal, human-machine teaming simulation, and modeling applied to autonomous swarm behavior.
