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 activities are: exploring significant capability gaps across the range of AF Concept of Operations (CONOPS;addressing critical lessons learned from recent operations, findings from the Air Force Capabilites Review and Risk Assessments and the Combatant Commander's and Services Warfighter Challenge program; creating operationally representative warfighter environments through the combination of constructive, live-fly forces and virtual forces and simulations; providing a multi-dimensional, multi-national, multi-service/Joint environment for an end-to-end process of innovation, experimentation, assessment, and transition of capabilities; providing joint and coalition warfighters with solutions to critical warfighting gaps; demonstrating emerging Air Force capabilities to deploy and employ decisive air, space and cyberspace power for the Joint Force Commander; enabling innovation and transformation. Unique systems and process integration capabilities are the major reasons JEFX is an experiment and not simply a demonstration or exercise. JEFX 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 of the efforts of 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.
