SOFWERX and 4th POG will host an Industry Demonstration Day to explore various synthetic internet capabilities with the intent to potentially inform DoD’s long-term vision for synthetic internet.

Interested respondents who could potentially provide solutions that are of interest to USSOCOM are encouraged to submit their solutions for review. To submit your technology for potential Demonstration Day attendance, please follow the submission instructions near the bottom of this webpage. Favorably evaluated submissions will receive an invitation to attend the Demonstration Day o/a 12 April.

During the event, invited participants will be given a table in an expo hall with the opportunity to have a one-on-one session with Government Stakeholders to demonstrate and/or discuss their solutions.

02 June 2022 Collaboration Event (CE) (Request to Attend NLT 29 April)
The Collaboration Event (CE) will be a compelling opportunity for the leading minds in Industry, Laboratory, Academic, and Non-Traditional fields to better understand and influence current synthetic internet environment needs. The event will be focused on identifying collective concerns and limitations, ways to overcome them, which determines future needs, and developing Blue Sky presentations so that potential technologies may be better applied to future efforts. During this event, Warfighters will interact with selected Industry, Academic, Laboratory, and Non-Traditional partners to further communicate operational needs, and/or desirements. This CE is also an opportunity for attendees to meet and form partnerships that may provide a more comprehensive solution. Participation in the event is not mandatory, however, it is designed to provide insights to ensure potential offerors understand the problem set(s) and increase the likelihood of matching technologies with SOF Warfighters’ needs. Request to attend the CE below, NLT 29 April 2022.
