Fleet Experimentation (FLEX)
Abstract
$10.8M in FY22 will fund experimentation event planning, execution, analysis, and reporting to assess initiatives to implement Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) and other CNO-approved foundational warfighting concepts. Specific experimentation initiatives are listed in the FY22 Plans paragraph. Through experimentation, solutions to concept required capabilities are tested and refined, and experiment recommendations support acquisition strategies and inform procurement decisions. FLEX is a proven efficient approach to improving warfighting effectiveness. FLEX deliverables are focused on operational and tactical warfighting capabilities in the near term (within the Future Years Defense Plan) and prioritized by periodic Fleet (CUSFF, CPF, CNE-AF) Experimentation Commanders' Guidance to enhance warfighting capability across priority warfare areas. FLEX venues and initiatives supports the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) directed Fleet Battle Problems (FBP) and Large Scale exercises (LSE) series as identified in the DMO concept and the CNO Navigation Plan (NAVPLAN) signed in January 2021.
