The University of Maryland Development, Test, Evaluation, Verification & Validation (DTEVV) Workshop Workshop will be held February 4-5, 2026 at the USMSM SMART Building (44219 Airport Road, California, MD 20619).
This event will map out the priority research and workforce challenges that need to be addressed to advance the DTEVV of autonomous technologies.
Technology continues to rapidly evolve, including the prominent integration of intelligent/autonomous capabilities. Systems - including those intended for the military, homeland security, and first response domains - are moving closer to greater intelligence every day. Every emergent capability and system require some form of assessment; current test and evaluation practices are unable to keep pace with this evolution. The result is a slowdown in the development, assessment, certification, and adoption of these technologies.
The Development, Test, Evaluation, Verification & Validation (DTEVV) Workshop will bring together T&E and autonomous systems professionals from the United States government, academia, and industry to map out the priority research and workforce challenges that need to be addressed to advance the DTEVV of these technologies.
