- Lincoln Laboratory (MIT)
- Applied Research Lab for Intelligence and Security (University of Maryland)

The workshop has led to the formation and launch of an international research community, the Digital Disruption in Defence Research Consortium (D3RC), and the development of a shared research agenda and the outline of four projects. D3RC will focus on digital disruption and artificial intelligence in the defence sector.
