Experimentation - AFWE - High-Fidelity Live-Virtual-Constructive Experiments and Simulation-Based Experiments
Abstract
Experiments address concept and capability developments including integration of capabilities for all Brigade Combat Team (BCT) types; development of future DOTMLPF requirements and solutions; and acceleration and integration of capabilities for current force BCTs and above brigade. The Joint Warfighting Assessment (JWA) is the annual capstone force modernization exercise for the U.S. Army. JWA is designed to achieve an enduring three-fold purpose: (1) accelerate force modernization by integrating and assessing Multi Domain Operations (MDO) concepts, capabilities, and formations at echelon (BCT to Theater Army/CJTF); (2) train a Joint, Interagency, and Multinational (JIM) force in a challenging and realistic operational environment of 2028; and (3) develop future strategic readiness and interoperability in the JIM warfighting team. Prototyping events are coordinated with CFTs and other Industry and Academic partners and utilizes live, force on force prototype-based experiments to assess the operational relevance of developing technologies, refine initial Operational and Organizational concepts, and conduct early prototyping to retain current advantages over adversaries, accelerate investments on contested future capabilities, and mitigate risk to the force.
