Description
Mission — Maritime Concept Generation & Development
Maritime Concept Generation and Development (MCGD) funding provides naval warfare subject matter expertise, experiment planning expertise, Modeling and Simulation (M&S) support, and analysis expertise to execute fleet experiments (and the individual experiment initiatives contained within) focused on critical warfighting capabilities and the development of Distributed Military Operations and other emerging Naval concepts. Typical deliverables for each experimental effort include: - Experiment control plan - Data Collection and Analysis Plan (DCAP) - Experiment Analysis Summary Reference Document - Experiment Engineering Plan - Final Experiment Report (with Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities - Policy (DOTMLPF-P) recommendations) - New/refined doctrine/Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP). The MCGD project funds four main efforts: (1) Provides critical concept development and experimentation manpower, and warfighting subject matter expertise aligned with the Concept Generation/Concept Development (CG/CD) program. The priorities for the CG/CD program are to develop concept of operations and explore near/far-term technological and non-technological solutions to war fighting gaps across all naval warfare areas. The associated experimentation efforts include planning, systems engineering and integration, modeling and simulation support, event execution, data collection, analysis, and assessment for a wide-range of experimentation efforts including the examination of prototypes, tactical development and evaluation, support for Science and Technology (S&T) innovation, and program of record system development; venues such as workshops, seminars, war games, limited objective experiments, limited technical experiments, and live at-sea events are used to execute these experimentation efforts. (2) Provides naval warfare subject matter expertise, experiment planning expertise, and analysis expertise to plan, execute, and assess experimentation for the fleets and warfighting development centers (WDC) at the operational and tactical levels. This includes a focus on WDC integration role, maritime command and control (C2), advanced cross-domain warfighting, and maritime operations centers (MOCS)/operational level of war (OLW) lines of operations. Seeks to solve fleet-identified warfighting gaps (referenced within the Integrated Prioritized Capability Lists (IPCL), Urgent Operational Needs Statements (UONS), Fleet Commander's Guidance, etc.). The experimentation and prototyping efforts support the "last tactical mile" of many Navy S&T programs by supporting those programs where the technology is mature enough, but requires evaluation on or by a "fleet asset" - ships, airplanes, submarines, and sailors. (3) Provides Modeling and Simulation (M&S) support to Navy experimentation efforts. M&S is used to stimulate decision making during seminar-style and system war gaming experiments and provides the simulated operational environment and capabilities with high-fidelity models such as the Joint Semi-Automated Force (JSAF) program. Additionally, where applicable, the Navy Simulation System (NSS) "Monte Carlo" model is also used to give high confidence solutions and outcomes to complex warfighting problems. (4) Develops focused, solution-driven tactics and evaluation through experimentation. This effort is focused on developing near-term doctrine solutions to address specific fleet-identified tactical issues. Maritime Concept Generation and Concept Development products include: - Concepts (signed by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) that influence future funding and technological development). - Enabling concepts. - Concepts of Operations (CONOPS). - Final experimentation reports, to include findings, insights, and recommendations and Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities - Policy (DOTMLPF-P) change recommendations and plans for action - Experiment Analysis Summary Reference Documents. - New/revised doctrinal and Tactics/Techniques/Procedures publications. - White papers (think pieces) intended to generate further discussion within Navy leadership. Specific products are listed in the Accomplishments/Plans section of this exhibit.
Mission — SEW Architecture/Eng Support
The Maritime Concept Generation & Development (MCGD) project focuses on the generation, development and validation of warfighting concepts, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and doctrine in order to eliminate war fighting gaps. Navy Warfare Development Center (NWDC) also manages the Fleet Experimentation (FLEX) program (formerly Sea Trial). The FY26 project will execute new experiments in the areas of Countering-C5ISRT, C5ISR, Naval Operational Architecture (NOA), Maritime Fires, Unmanned systems, Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML), Naval integration, and Allied / Partner Nation Integration as well as conduct experiments (war simulations, Modeling & Simulation (M&S), at-sea events) to develop emerging Naval concepts.
