DSET 2026

DSET 2026 brought together an exceptional community of defence professionals dedicated to transforming military education, training, and operational readiness.

LEVATO was proud to showcase VANTAGE, demonstrating one of its defining strengths: ease of use. Participants who had only been introduced to the platform that morning were designing, managing, and executing sophisticated multidomain wargames that same afternoon. This ability to rapidly transition from learning to execution highlights VANTAGE's value for organizations seeking to expand their wargaming capacity without lengthy training pipelines.

DSET also provided an opportunity to build upon the momentum generated during the NATO STO SAS-219 High North Wargaming activities. Discussions centered on how digital wargaming can support increasingly complex multinational planning, operational analysis, and future force development, while enabling collaboration across coalition partners.

A particular highlight was observing the Cyber Wargame facilitated by Expert Theory, where the Providence AI platform served as the White Cell adjudication and analysis capability. Providence demonstrated how AI can significantly reduce White Cell workload by assisting with adjudication, narrative generation, media injects, and decision support, allowing facilitators to focus on higher-level operational analysis rather than administrative overhead. Together, Providence and VANTAGE illustrate how complementary AI-enabled capabilities can accelerate scenario execution while maintaining human judgment at the center of decision-making.

The event reinforced that simplicity, rapid deployment, AI-assisted adjudication, and collaborative analysis are becoming essential characteristics of the next generation of digital wargaming platforms supporting defence organizations worldwide.
