Meet Team Davidson's Leaders and subject-matter-experts at
Booth #429
Team Davidson is proud to exhibit and support the 2022 Space and Missile Defense Symposium as a Silver Sponsor. The Symposium is one of the leading educational, professional development and networking events in the space and missile defense community. SMD Symposium is widely attended by nearly 4,000 leaders and professionals from the U.S. and its allies around the world.
The symposium will feature presentations from top space and missile defense industry companies as well as representatives from the Missile Defense Agency, Space and Missile Defense Command, Strategic Command, Northern Command, Space Command, Army Futures Command, the Marshall Space Flight Center and PEO Missiles and Space.

Title: Rapid Optimization of Trajectories for Hypersonics
Time: Wednesday, August 10 (1:30 -1:45PM)
Abstract: Davidson’s capability discussion will focus on Rapid Optimization of Trajectories for Hypersonics (ROTH). Our capability briefing will feature trajectory optimization work developed at Davidson to advance defensive and offensive capabilities for hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs). HGVs are advanced strike weapon platforms that use boost vehicles to accelerate a glide vehicle to hypersonic speeds within the sensible atmosphere. Upon separation from the booster, the glide vehicle can travel up to 100+ times the release altitude and intercept a terminal target. The low glide altitudes and high maneuverability of these platforms make them very difficult to defend against. The high maneuverability enables in-flight obstacle avoidance such as known radar sites and in-bound interceptors. Our talk will showcase techniques to optimize the boost and glide phases using pseudospectral collocation techniques. Applications will be shown for long range strike and obstacle avoidance. The aim of this talk is to inform the government attendees and defense industry peers on advanced HGV strike capability and showcase the innovative solutions Davidson contributes to this space.

Title: A New Strategy for the Infinite Cybersecurity Game
Time: Wednesday, August 10 (4:25- 4:45PM)
Abstract: The mathematics of Game Theory illuminates the merits and drawbacks of cybersecurity strategies. Cybersecurity defense is largely practiced as a game that can be won—implement training, policies, and controls to prevent cyber compromise of the system. This approach fails in the infinite game, in which the goal is to stay in the game as long as possible. Focusing on nation-state players, we examine types of attackers and the risk implied by certain defensive strategies. Then, we motivate a risk mitigation strategy that requires frequent, independent hardware updates. These ideas are discussed in greater detail in the chapters by Sewell and Puckett in the newly published book, Theoretical Cybersecurity by Jacob Oakley et al.
