Special Operations NEXUS

IDGA is proud to announce our inaugural Special Operations NEXUS Event this July 30-August 1, in Tampa, FL. This event will focus on the ongoing efforts and technological advancements enabling the SOF warfighters and decision makers to deliver SOF lethality in the Multi Domain Battlefield.

As you know, the complexity of the modern global conflicts requires the US SOF community to engage in extensive joint, combined and inter-agency operations in order to achieve military and strategic objectives. To compete and face the various emerging threats, operational objectives and the complexity of the unconventional warfare the SOF community needs to leverage emerging and innovative technologies, such as AI and Machine Learning Technology, well focus on the “nexus” between physical, cognitive and virtual domains.
