Fleet Experimentation
Abstract
-FLEX is a USFF/CPF collaborative effort to address fleet prioritized capability gaps, led by USFF N8/N9, supported by Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC), and coordinated with Naval Component Commands (NCC)/Numbered Fleets, Type Commanders (TYCOM), Systems Commands (SYSCOM), OPNAV, Services, Coalition, and Science & Technology (S&T) community. The Fleet Experimentation program objective is to produce recommended changes in doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership development, personnel, facilities, and policy (DOTMLPF-P) actions, with an emphasis on non-materiel solutions. Deliverables are focused on operational and tactical warfighting capability in the near term (within the Fiscal Year Defense Plan), and prioritized by the Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF)/Commander, Pacific Fleet (CPF) Fleet Experimentation annual guidance. NWDC plans and executes USFF/CPF approved multi-year Fleet experimentation campaigns and final reports. USFF/CPF staff manage the follow-on DOTMLPF-P actions with OPNAV, SYSCOMs, TYCOMs and Warfighter Development Command (WDC) staffs to establish or enhance warfighting capability in Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), Amphibious Warfare (AMW), Surface Warfare (SUW), Strike Warfare (STW), Anti-Submarine Warfare(ASW),Expeditionary Warfare (EXW), Information Dominance (ID), Mine Warfare (MIW) and Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP). -Operational venue to experiment, demonstrate, assess warfighting CONOPS development, doctrine/training development, techniques and procedures (TTPs), and technologies -Multi-year experiment campaigns focused on warfighting capability per CPF/CUSFFC guidance to evaluate and transition to DOTMLPF-Policy change recommendations: -The intent of FLEX is to rapidly deploy/transition -New tactics, TTPs, and training -Emerging technologies -Fleet Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) -Innovative concepts and applications of existing systems -Trident Warrior is the component of FLEX that specifically targets C4I systems
