Joint Expeditionary Force Experiments

Abstract

The Joint Expeditionary Force Experiments (JEFX) and supporting Limited Objective Experiments (LOE) are warfighter experiments that address emerging operational challenges and are part of the Air Force (AF) concept development and experimentation enterprise. JEFX/LOE explores significant capability gaps across the range of AF Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and address critical lessons learned from recent operations, findings from the Air Force Capabilites Review and Risk Assessments and the Warfighter Challenge program. They combine constructive, live-fly forces and virtual forces and simulations into an operationally representative warfighter environments. JEFX/LOE provides a multi-dimensional, multi-national, multi-service environment for an end-to-end process of experimentation, assessment, and transition of capabilities that will provide joint and coalition warfighters with solutions to critical warfighting gaps and lessons learned in recent and current operations. They demonstrate emerging Air Force capabilities demonstrate emerging Air Force capabilities to deploy and employ decisive aerospace power for the Joint Force Commander, and are important enablers of innovation and transformation. The integration of systems and processes is the major reason JEFX is an experiment and not simply a demonstration or exercise. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This program is in Budget Activity 7 - Operational System Development because it provides horizontal integration, developers, testers, and warfighters to experiment, analyze, and explore operational concepts and new technologies to enhance operational system developments and improve capabilities of the air, space, and cyberspace forces.
