Swampworks
Abstract
Description: The SwampWorks portfolio responds to opportunities for rapid and disruptive technologies to meet urgent warfighter needs, and addresses technology and sailor performance issues identified during experiments, exercises, and demonstrations. SwampWorks explores high-risk, disruptive, and innovative technologies and concepts that advance naval warfighter's capabilities. The program has substantial programmatic flexibility and is not limited to any set of technology areas. Ultimately, the goal is to provide a dramatic improvement for the warfighter at a rapid pace. Some of these technologies may become part of a follow-on technology development, may end up in the hands of the warfighter for Fleet/ Force experimentation, or may culminate in a significant Fleet/Force exercise that demonstrates capability that transitions into the Acquisition Program of Record (POR). The Naval Agility Cell (NavalX) group assist in TECHDEV selection within Swampworks. NavalX builds an agile, collaborative, and connected Naval network via regional Technology Bridges (Tech Bridges) to pursue high-risk, disruptive, and innovative technologies and concepts that advance naval warfighter's capabilities.
