Multi-domain Experimentation and Demonstration Venues
Abstract
Agile and flexible experimentation and demonstration capabilities and venues support DoD modernization by increasing the rate of innovation through hands-on warfighter demonstrations of joint mission capabilities. Demonstration venues enable Joint Program Offices, Service, and Combatant Command user evaluation of emerging novel technologies in relevant environments. Demonstration venues include the Thunderstorm venue for small and non-traditional businesses; the Stiletto maritime technology platform; and, other tailored multi-domain venues and ad-hoc demonstrations. These experimentation and demonstration venues support the rapid discovery and transition of emerging technologies across the range of military operations. The venues provide the DoD and interagency partners with an opportunity to identify and evaluate new and emerging technologies both from commercial and government sectors through a series of technology demonstrations, experiments, vignettes, and related activities. The venues also offer a streamlined experimentation and demonstration process that encourages system developers to engage directly with the warfighter. These engagements enable rapid innovation and adoption of new technologies to meet operational needs through the exploration of military utility, and identification of potential risks of emerging technologies.
