Our Charter is to Improve Human Performance through Modeling, Simulation & Training
The Tech Grove is where we uncover unique ways to solve some of the Modeling, Simulation, & Training industry’s toughest problems. Right now we’re focused on these areas.

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

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

XR Technology
Improving human performance with the use of advanced XR technology, 5G networking, and integration.
Our Mission is to Grow the Defense Industry, Facilitate Technology Transfers, & Solve Hard Problems

Grow the Defense Industry Base
We collaborate with industry, academia, small business, and government from across the nation. We do this with events, communication, and referrals to ecosystem support organizations.

Transfer Technology
We facilitate technology transfer to the private sector and facilitate the use of government labs to increase the likelihood of success in conducting joint activities with small businesses and universities to make use of technology related assistance from a government lab. Spin out, or federally developed technologies and spin in, or solutions to hard problems from industry and academia.

Solve Hard Problems
By facilitating the innovation of better training for our warfighters through modeling and simulation to improve human performance. We facilitate these innovations through prize challenges, tech scans, game jams, and other initiatives.
Share your Innovations
Do you have an innovative idea that could be a solution for challenges facing our national defense partners? Getting novel, non-traditional, human performance solutions in front of potential users, customers and collaborators can be a long and arduous process. Until now. Tell us about your innovation so we can tell others.
Why Orlando is the Metacenter
Orlando has for decades been the epicenter of innovation in modeling, simulation, and training for our nation’s military. As a result, it is also the home of a vast interconnected network of organizations leading innovations in game development, artificial intelligence, multi-dimensional modeling, optics, sensors, and data science.
Share your innovations with Team Orlando


Tech Grove and the National Security Innovation Network have created a Team Orlando platform to allow you to respond to specific problem statements as well as submit information about your products, services, and capabilities.
Join the TOPS community today, check out the problems in our Problem Grove, submit your capabilities, and engage with us!
Introducing Our New Logo
When Central Florida Tech Grove was established in June of 2020, we also developed a logo. That logo was designed to align with the Team Orlando logo since our founding members are the four services that anchor Team Orlando (Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps). We recently realized the need for a new logo that would be easier to read in various media formats. You will still see our original logo (now our Seal). But more and more you will see our new Logo!
