Fleet Experimentation
Abstract
The U.S. Navy's Fleet Experimentation (FLEX) program is a collaborative effort with multiple partners designed to address fleet prioritized capability gaps to produce doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership development, personnel, facilities, and policy (DOTMLPFP) actions. The FLEX program deliverables are focused on operational and tactical warfighting capability in the near term (within the Future Years Defense Program), and prioritized by annual U.S. Navy guidance. Warfighting Development Centers (WDCs) plans and executes approved multi-year Fleet experimentation campaigns and final reports. U. S. Navy staff manages the follow-on DOTMLPF-P actions to establish or enhance warfighting capability in Fleet Design, Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), Amphibious Warfare (AMW), Surface Warfare (SUW), Strike Warfare (STW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Expeditionary Warfare (EXW), Information Dominance (ID), Mine Warfare (MIW) and Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) FLEX supports Operational/Tactical venues to experiment, demonstrate, assess warfighting CONOPS development, concepts, doctrine/training development, techniques and procedures (TTPs), and technologies. Multi-year experiment campaigns focus on warfighting capability in accordance with guidance to evaluate and transition to DOTMLPF-Policy change recommendations.
