The JIFX team leads experimentation in alternative methods to enable rapid technological development by cultivating a community of interest and hosting broadly scoped quarterly collaborative field events that enable DOD, U.S. government, and allied stakeholders to identify, influence, and accelerate early-stage technology development that address national and collective security challenges. The next JIFX event will take place 7–11 August 2023 at Camp Roberts, CA. NPS students and researchers are invited to submit experiment proposals for this event or attend as observers/evaluators. JIFX provides a unique opportunity to NPS students and researchers to interact with private industry and other academic institutions in a collaborative field environment.

Dates: 7–11 August 2023
