Stiletto - SLAMR 2.0

Stiletto
Joint Prototyping and Experimentation Maritime (JPEM) Technology
Demonstration Program

Stiletto is a maritime technology demonstration platform with an “electronic keel” that enables rapid integration, demonstration, and experimentation with new technologies. The 88-foot experimental boat provides an authentic military maritime platform with easy access for small businesses and non-traditional performers.
Stiletto program focus areas include:
- Be Accessible and available for Maritime Demonstrations: Open to all from small business to large industry to government and international partners.
- Integrate and accommodate state-of–the art maritime technologies: Plug and Play; Bolt-on/off; clean power and network connections available.
- Remain Affordable: The cost of the craft and program expenses are covered; the demonstrator typically only pays for their own labor and travel.
Current Opportunity. Obstacle Avoidance System for High-Speed Craft
Stiletto events are posted to the SLAMR Proposal Opportunities and Field Experimentation calendars!
Stiletto's specifications include:
- Length: 88 feet
- Speed: 50+ knots
- Draft: 2.5 feet
- Highlights non-mechanical dynamic lift, carbon composite construction, and high-speed performance for military operations
- Can support launch and recovery of autonomous systems (surface, air, undersea/subsurface)

Joint Interagency Field Experimentation (JIFX) demonstrates and evaluates new technologies related to Department of Defense research in an operational field environment. JIFX also provides the operational community an opportunity to experiment with these technologies to better understand their capabilities and how to use them. Together this creates a collaborative, boundary-pushing environment to explore the implications and applications of emerging technology.
Thunderstorm is an enduring technology demonstration venue open to a wide range of participants, including small businesses, military, and the interagency. New technologies can be integrated, evaluated, and assessed under real world conditions with scripted and unscripted scenarios.

Simulation Experiments (SIMEX) provide a high-fidelity environment to develop operational concepts for emerging technologies. Sensors, weapon systems, kill chains, and command and control with operational users are accurately modeled and simulated by MITRE Corporation's National Security Experimentation Laboratory, providing data-driven results.
