At the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), modeling and simulation (M&S) isn’t an academic exercise; it’s a path to better, faster, safer decisions in real-world situations. By building shared digital twins, running batches of what-if tests, and letting operators and engineers adjust the same model together, NPS teams pull months and years out of planning and reduce risk before anyone touches a flight line or flips a switch on an installation.

U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) are recalibrating from two decades of counterterrorism toward great power competition, and they’re doing it at a tempo that demands faster decisions, smarter logistics, and a more holistic approach to human performance. […]
In this episode of MeriTalking, Nicole Burdette sits down with ICF’s Kyle Tuberson to discuss how agencies can go from lab to live, supported by a consistent delivery approach in ICF’s Fathom, which bakes in security, governance, and integration with existing systems. They’ll also address the drivers for AI, from efficiency pressures to practical technology […]
In a recent MeriTalk webinar, experts warned that supply chain attacks are increasing in volume and sophistication, as nation-state actors weaponize artificial intelligence (AI) to move faster across the software supply chain. FSIs need to rethink how they apply zero trust and data security to keep pace, they advised. […]
For federal agencies and industry partners, NVIDIA’s GTC DC conference felt less like a standard tech gathering and more like a strategic planning session for the next era of artificial intelligence (AI). Sessions touched every part of the federal AI landscape: supercomputing, infrastructure, mission delivery, and policy, providing a clear picture of where government capabilities are headed. […]
In this episode of MeriTalking, Nicole Burdette sits down with LaRel Rogers, staff product marketing manager for federal at Okta, to discuss the rise of agentic AI and its impact across government. Together, they explore how autonomous AI agents are transforming mission delivery, along with strategies for protecting critical access points and data flows between human users, AI agents, and sensitive government systems. […]
Automation is accelerating how the Defense Department’s (DOD) – rebranded as the War Department by the Trump administration – builds, secures, and operates cloud environments, senior Leidos officials said during a recent webinar, underscoring how automation is reducing approval bottlenecks, strengthening security operations, and preparing defense networks for machine-speed threats. […]
The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is building an artificial intelligence (AI)-ready force the way a teaching hospital trains clinicians: rigorous classroom learning, side-by-side practice on world-class technology, and real problems. […]
Across mission networks and insider risk programs, practitioners are shifting from reactive firefighting to proactive, risk-aware operations, elevating signal over noise so leaders can act faster and with more confidence. […]
As federal agencies modernize IT systems and prepare for artificial intelligence (AI) compute demands, Supermicro is working with NVIDIA to expand efforts to help the government rapidly deploy purpose-built “AI factory” infrastructure. […]
