Modeling - Simulation - Training for Human Performance Innovation
INNOVATE - COLLABORATE - ACCELERATE
I/ITSEC 2023
The World's Largest Modeling, Simulation & Training Event
We are an innovative partnership for improving human performance through MS&T with our DoD partners
Tech Grove is a unique innovation center specifically created to foster collaboration and accelerate novel, non-traditional, Modeling, Simulation, Training & Human Performance solutions to our national defense partners at Team Orlando. We focus on identifying small businesses with innovative technology that addresses our Services' hard problems when developing solutions for Live Virtual Constructive and Synthetic Training Environments.
Don’t Miss Out on the Tech Grove / NAWCTSD RRL Prize Challenge!
WATCH THE FINAL PRESENTATIONS ON DECEMBER 13th
The Central Florida Tech Grove, in partnership with Team Orlando, Office of Naval Research (ONR), Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD), and National Security Innovation Network (NSIN), is executing a prize challenge to identify solutions that address a critical barrier in effectively implementing Instructional Systems Design (ISD) Analysis for training for military readiness and human performance.
Real Experiences, Real Opportunities, Real Results
Try out a flight simulator? Help develop a serious game? Challenge your cyber defense skills? Have a face-to-face conversation with the Commanding Officer of the local Navy command? Meet your next intern or part-time employee? You can do all of that and more at Tech Grove.
Contact us to learn more about how you can get involved!
The Nation’s Modeling, Simulation, and Training Innovation Center
The United States Department of Defense (DOD) depends on non-traditional training solutions built with cutting-edge technologies created by innovators like you. However, getting your novel solution to market — and to the DOD for military readiness training — is challenging.
That’s where Central Florida Tech Grove comes in.
INNOVATION, COLLABORATION, AND ACCELERATION
At Tech Grove, we facilitate modeling, simulation, and training (MS&T) advances with:

Innovation
We offer resources to inspire you, connecting you to the people and organizations at the forefront of the defense modeling and simulation industry.

Collaboration
We help you discover collaboration opportunities with Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, and Space Force modeling, simulation, and training organizations.

Acceleration
We assist you with business development assistance and federal funding to get your innovation to market in the hands that need it.
Our Mission for Enhancing DOD Human Performance
Grow the Defense Industry Base
We collaborate with industry, academia, small business, and government from across the nation to expand the defense industry base. We offer an expansive calendar of events, education and support, and referrals to ecosystem support organizations ranging from industry associations to competitive research as well as development programs.


Facilitate MS&T Technology Transfers
We facilitate technology transfers between small businesses, universities, and government labs. We conduct joint activities, spinning out federally developed technology to support innovation and spinning in solutions from industry and academia to solve complex government human performance challenges.
Solve Complex Military Training Challenges
We facilitate the innovation of enhanced human performance training solutions to apply to the gaps and problems shared by our military customers. Through prize challenges, tech scans, game jams, and other initiatives, industry, government, and academia work together to create and accelerate solutions.

Unique Ways To Solve Military Human Performance Problems

LVC-STE Adoption
Expanding the adoption of Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) and Military Synthetic Training Environment (STE) tools and solutions.

Artificial Intelligence
Uncovering and adapting Artificial Intelligence (AI) to unlock human-machine interaction in AI military training.

XR Technology
Improving human performance using advanced extended reality for training (XRT) technology, 5G networking, and integration.
