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 (DOTMLPF-P) actions. FLEX program deliverables are focused on operational and tactical warfighting capabilities prioritized near term (within the Future Years Defense Program). U.S. Navy staff manages DOTMLPF-P actions resulting from experiment execution 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 Warfare (IW), Mine Warfare (MIW) and Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP). FLEX supports Operational/Tactical venues to experiment, demonstrate, and assess warfighting CONOPS development, concepts, doctrine/training development, tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), and technologies. Multi-year experiment campaigns focus on warfighting capability in accordance with U.S. Navy guidance to evaluate and transition DOTMLPF-Policy change recommendations.
