“From Lab to Battlefield: AI-Driven Strategies for Successful Defense R&D” – NOF Webinar

National Online Forum webinar on Wednesday, May 21, 2025

The current landscape of research and development (R&D) faces significant challenges, including information overload and inefficient processes. This is particularly evident in the “Valley of Death,” where many innovations struggle to transition from the lab to the market. However, these challenges also present opportunities for transformation through artificial intelligence (AI). According to McKinsey research, generative AI could create between $2.6 trillion and $4.4 trillion in value, with “Product R&D” and “Software Engineering for Product Development” being the areas with the most significant potential impact.

Please join us on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, 8:00-9:00 am Pacific Time, when Has Patel, President, Infologic, Inc. will introduce a framework for R&D process management designed to bridge the “Valley of Death” in defense R&D. By integrating federally developed Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRLs) with Multimodal Innovation and Value Creation Matrices, this framework aligns with the Department of Defense’s 2023 National Defense Science and Technology Strategy.
