Joint Capability Experimentation
Abstract
The NDAA documents the Chairman’s responsibilities to include experimentation on future concepts. The National Defense Strategy Implementation Guidance directed rigorous experimentation on concepts as a means to ensure Department investments adequately address future requirements, not just near term. Given this, the Joint Staff must establish an experimentation capability suitable for analysis and validation of priority joint concept required capabilities. The base of experimentation and wargaming will expand through the initial operating capability to full operating capability. This will provide the necessary capacity and capability. The combination will allow the Chairman to identify cost efficient and effective capability tradeoffs. This capability will enable the Chairman to fulfill his Title 10 responsibility, “advising the Secretary on new and alternative joint military capabilities, and alternative program recommendations and budget proposals, within projected resource levels.” This capability more fully supports the Chairman’s production of the Joint Military Needs Assessment (JMNA), the Chairman’s Program Recommendation (CPR) and ultimately the Defense Planning Guidance for Joint Force development. This PE funds the Joint Staff J7 Joint Wargaming and Experimentation Division (JWED) three main Advanced Technologies efforts; 1) Globally Integrated Wargames - Advanced Technologies (GIWG –AT), 2) Experimentation Campaign events necessary such as the Joint Experimentation Forum (JEF) for force design and development events supporting Joint Warfighting Concept, Joint Fires, Joint Logistics, and Joint Command & Control, and 3) Joint Experimentation Network - Advanced Technologies (JExNet AT) develops an integrated system of data architecture across federated knowledge platforms and networks to include joint experimentation activities and various learning events that enable knowledge sharing.
