Fleet Experimentation (FLEX)
Abstract
Fleet Experimentation (FLEX) is a collaborative effort with multiple partners designed to address prioritized capability gaps to produce Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) actions. FLEX deliverables are focused on operational and tactical warfighting capabilities in the near term (within the Future Years Defense Plan) and prioritized by annual Fleet (CUSFF, CPF, CNE-AF) Commanders' guidance to enhance warfighting capability across all warfare areas. FLEX is the enabler to Fleet Design and its experimentation initiatives support delivery of Navy Operational Architecture (NOA), Fleet Warfighting Training Continuum (FWTC) and Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO). FLEX supports efforts for workshops, in-port and at-sea experiments, and war simulations. FLEX provides venues and the expertise to identify DOTMLPF-P gaps for sponsored programs/technologies prior to delivery to the Fleet, with the goal of delivering capability wholeness to the warfighter. FLEX is vital to continuously improving critical naval warfighting capabilities identified in the Navy's Concept for Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) signed by CNO Feb 2019 and "A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority 2.0" signed by CNO Dec 2018
