Naval Warfare Experimentation
Abstract
The objective of this activity is to capitalize on recent technology breakthroughs to develop and integrate components including subsystems into prototypes quickly. These technologies are provided to the warfighter for experimentation, field experiments, and/or tests in simulated or actual environments. The use of Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC) Fleet Experimentation (FLEX) events is encouraged. The net results are knowledge that only an experiment can provide and that will inform future Science and Technology (S&T) development and transition of capabilities. An example of Naval Warfare Experimentation efforts is funding of a SuperSwarm project which pushed the boundaries of manufacturing capabilities to build 5000 unmanned aerial vehicles and conducted experimentation, dropping over 1000 at a time from aircraft to determine naval utility.
