TRADOC hosts installation technology conference this month

Army Training and Doctrine Command will host the Mad Scientist Conference, "Installations of the Future," June 19 to 20 in Atlanta, GA, exploring the evolution of the operational environment through 2050.

TRADOC, the deputy assistant secretary of the Army for installations, energy and environment and the Georgia Tech Research Institute will convene to discuss trends in artificial intelligence, big data, analytics, microgrids and social media.

"Due to the increasing connectivity through the Internet of Things, Army installations cannot be considered the sanctuaries they once were," TRADOC wrote in a June 14 press release. "A myriad of emerging threats of vectors from social media, cyberattack, information operations, and new generation warfare will change the dynamic of how these installations can and should be viewed."

The event will be livestreamed.
