What is JEFX ?

Multi-national, Multi-service

Integration
Large-Scale C2
“Experiment”
Multi-functional exploration
Spiral development
End-to-end process
Rigorous assessment

Live-fly
Simulations
Multi-dimensional environment
Controlled, operationally- realistic
Live, virtual and constructive
simulation

A catalyst to accelerate critical
warfighting capabilities

Concept Development

Senior leadership support is key

Senior mentor involvement helpful
Some concepts require long-term campaign
TCT…TST…
EBO

Collaborative process is required
Doctrine Center, Air Staff, Industry, Battle Labs ….
Well developed concepts with documentation and
communities of interest understanding needed
AF CONOPS provide experimentation foundation

Initiative Selection Process

Step 1 – Define the Capability Gaps
Capability Review and Risk Assessment (CRRA) process
Functional needs analysis

Call for Initiatives
Consider both processes and technology
Industry vs AF spiral development IPT portfolios
Pay-to-play has worked

Initiative Selection
85 percent able to transition within 6-18 months
Standardized Risk, Cost, and Performance criteria needed
Classified and Joint initiatives need to be part of process

Experiment Enterprise

An established core team is key to success

“The Experiment Enterprise”
Engineers, professional control force, experiment
management, assessment, communicators,
operators
Team embedded in existing organizations
enables networking and management
flexibility
Senior mentors provide useful role in advising
control, assessment and operators
Team continuity crucial

Summary

JEFX has captured Experimentation Management
Lessons Learned since 1998
Design, Planning, Execution, Assessment and
Reporting of large-scale C2 experiments continues to
evolve
JEFX 06 will continue to explore innovative ways to
speed the transition of capabilities to the warfighter
by pushing the envelope and leveraging test and
experimentation
