IDT is participating in the Creative Defense Foundation’s Creative Disruptors in the Desert 2026 and the inaugural Warfighting Innovation Summit, joining defense leaders, operators, technologists, and investors focused on accelerating operational capability delivery.
This year’s theme — Speed to Delivery: Achieving Interoperable Robotics and Autonomy — centers on advancing robotics, autonomy, and dual-use technologies from development to deployment.
As a Strategic Partner, IDT looks forward to engaging in candid conversations around acquisition reform, portfolio integration, and practical pathways to deliver mission-relevant technology at speed.
Context: Speed, Interoperability, and Delivery
This year’s program reflects a clear shift across the defense innovation ecosystem: moving beyond experimentation and toward interoperable, fieldable capability delivered at speed.
With senior Department of War leadership, Portfolio Acquisition Executives, and industry builders in the room, the weekend is oriented around practical questions of transition — how robotics, autonomy, and dual-use technologies can integrate faster into operational programs and deliver measurable impact.
At IDT, we are committed to supporting the delivery of real operational capability.
Our participation this weekend aligns with our focus on engaging directly with acquisition and transition leaders, strengthening collaboration between operators and technologists, and contributing to a community centered on execution, interoperability, and outcomes.
Bringing together builders serious about delivering capability at speed is exactly the kind of environment where meaningful progress happens.
