28 November – 2 December 2022
I/ITSEC is the largest defense-oriented Modeling & Simulation, and Training Conference in the world, with approximately 18,000 attendees expected at this year’s event.
Across Trideum, there is always a sense of excitement in the months leading up to I/ITSEC. This year, Trideum’s enthusiasm is significantly heightened as they go all in on what they consider the most important industry event of the year. Matt Spruill, Trideum’s Director of Training Services & Solutions Sector is this year’s Conference Chair, and Van Sullivan, Trideum’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the Industry keynote speaker.
Trideum will have a significant number of attendees this year in addition to exhibiting in booth #2612. Our subject matter experts will present tutorials; participate in multiple session panels; support, sponsor, and participate in the Cyber Pavilion; and run a Professional Development Workshop. Trideum personnel will also provide support to Army Modeling and Simulations Office (AMSO) in booth #757.
Trideum credits their growing support of I/ITSEC as a contributing factor in their growth as a company. In 2022, Trideum is on the Inc. 5000 ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, for the 10th time, despite the challenges of the COVID pandemic.
Deep Roots in Test & Evaluation
“Many of our team have been attending I/ITSEC since before Trideum was a company, but that’s not a coincidence given our LVC-G expertise,” said Van Sullivan, Trideum’s CEO. Sullivan recalls, “Trideum was founded in 2006 as a Test and Evaluation (T&E) company. T&E is in our DNA and one of our three core competencies along with Training & Training Development, and Research and Development/Rapid Prototyping. T&E is not only a major part of our business, but impacts our approach to everything we do.”
The Trideum Difference
Trideum’s knowledge in T&E and intimate understanding of technological capabilities enables them to deliver training services in a way few others can. They are able to design and integrate systems, as well as build and deliver LVC-G solutions, that are based on their in-depth understanding of system design and performance. The Trideum Difference is in how they create a Convergence of Testing and Training—Trideum services and solutions that exist at the nexus—the convergence.
Invested in Training & Training Development
Our Training & Training Development services for long-time military and DoD customers only strengthen our commitment to I/ITSEC. We develop, plan, prepare, and execute training and training events at the individual and small group through large scale collective levels. This includes curriculum and IMI development for training all FA 57s and CP 36s, Command and General Staff College, CAC SHARP Academy, Marine Logistics, and the Joint force through JKO; individual training at JBSA and Kuwait; and small group through large scale collective training at JBSA and the NSC to name just a few.
From systems integration, technology modernization, and support, education, and program development to training execution and analysis, our goal is always to improve readiness and performance even in complex environments through all aspects of training.

Gain the necessary insight needed to support intelligent decision making when employing LVC. We will discuss the various solutions and domains of LVC technology and how it can potentially support your needs. A relevant use case will be presented to explain the concepts and the solutions required to achieve success. This will not be an in-depth technology review of LVC interoperability yet will provide sufficient management-level insight into interoperability solutions and standards like Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High Level Architecture (HLA), and the Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) product line.
Presenters
1245-1415 | Focus Event: CMSP 3.0 Reinvention!
Room W300 Theatre
Modeling and Simulation is a vibrant and growing profession. Simulations bring digital engineering to life; they convert data and models into dynamic representations that allow users to better understand analyses, to visualize product changes, and to train more efficiently and effectively. This is true within traditional disciplines like science and engineering, but it is increasingly the case in areas like medicine, that now use simulation and simulators to practice surgery, navigate through virtual arteries, and practice advanced lifesaving skills. In a profession, what is the mark of true distinction? Certification! This Special Event provides personal insights from a diverse panel on M&S, Certification, and CMSP.

1030-1200 | Signature Event: Virtual Evaluation in Prototyping and Experimentation
Room W304GH
With the increased understanding of models as an authoritative source of truth, there is a current discussion within DoD on the use of the virtual space in evaluation of ideas, prototypes, experimentation, and other areas. Virtual environments for training are well-developed and understood; can these then be leveraged to provide benefit? Likewise, simulation environments for test and evaluation of concepts, prototypes and experiments have a long history of success within the test community; can these also be leveraged to provide benefit to other users?
The Director, Digital Engineering, Modeling & Simulation, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Research & Engineering), will lead a panel of Defense leaders from government, industry, and academia, with experience in prototyping, experimentation, training, testing, and concept evaluation in virtual environments. These panelists will provide some of their virtual capabilities, lessons learned, and their continuing technical needs. This will be an interactive discussion, as this is also a challenge to the I/ITSEC audience to let the leadership know if there already exists virtual environments that can be leveraged to other uses. If you already work with virtual environments that could be utilized in other areas, the panelists encourage you to attend this special event.

0800-1200 | Professional Development Workshop: Distributed LVC Event Process
Room W307C
This thoughtfully-developed workshop covers the complete Distributed LVC Event Process.
The IEEE Std 1730-2010 Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP) standard defines a seven step process model with activities for developing an event and provides representative inputs and outputs for each activity. This process adds two additional steps to the process. One of the steps adds a tabletop wargaming step to work through the requirements. The second additional step develops a digital twin of the target system. A detailed set of processes, templates, and guidance on how to perform the selected activities is provided. The process covers the integration of simulations and tactical systems to meet the objectives of the LVC event.
However, to produce a verified distributed LVC environment to conduct the event, the user still must instantiate the DSEEP process model and develop artifact templates, which is a substantial effort. An instantiation of DSEEP was developed based on the authors’ integration and execution of many distributed LVC events. This workshop will describe the complete nine step instantiated process including 28 activities, and provide examples of the artifacts created by its execution, lessons learned and how those lessons have been incorporated. The workshop will provide the detailed inputs, tasks, outputs, and examples for each activity. The process presented includes issues related to distributed LVC environments using multiple distributed simulation architectures, live entities, and cyber.
