The Tech & Student Showcase will enable NPS faculty and students to engage with industry partners, learn about ways to leverage technologies to support/advance research activities, and explore the wide variety of possibilities for a thesis or capstone project.

The Naval Postgraduate School Foundation is hosting the event under the auspices of their partner intermediary agreement with NPS.

To maximize officer participation, this classified tactical design workshop is intended to be on a not-to-interfere basis with regular class schedules (participate as you are available).

The workshop's objectives are to develop tactical employment concepts for uncrewed and crewed systems in direct support of PROJECT KRAKEN (TS/SCI clearance required) and Hybrid Fleet/EABO/SIF integration (Secret clearance required). Officers from all services with the appropriate clearances are invited to participate as their schedule allows.

Document

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 JIFX program exists to provide an opportunity for NPS faculty, students, private companies, and academia to demonstrate and evaluate new technologies related to the Department of the Navy and the Department of Defense research in an operational field environment, and also to provide the operational community the opportunity to experiment with these technologies to better understand the capabilities that they may represent.

The Joint Training Education Congress (JTEC) is an annual Education and Training Program Management Review. This event will have both delegation from United Arab Emirates as well as the U.S. Government. IGPO is planning on providing a briefing on NPS programs.
