Logistics in Contested Environments Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) Workshop September 2019 After Action Report

2019

Naval Warfare Studies Institute (NWSI)Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC)This Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education and Research (CRUSER) sponsored Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) workshop was held 23-26 September 2019 on the campus of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California. The three and a half day experience allowed NPS students focused interaction with faculty, staff, fleet officers, and visiting engineers from Navy labs and industry. The workshop culminated in a morning of final concept briefs and fruitful discussion regarding the role of unmanned systems in the future naval force. This workshop also directly supported the Secretary of the Navy's (SECNAV) direction that CRUSER foster the development of actionable operational concepts for robotic and autonomous systems within naval warfare areas and work with our industry partners. The September 2019 workshop "Logistics in Contested Environments" tasked participants to apply e...

Future Fleet Wargames - Post Wargame Experimentation and Analysis

2018

NPS NRP Executive SummaryProject Summary: This project's goal was to establish an ability for the Navy's N9 Warfare Systems Directorate to develop insights regarding the impact of planned and scheduled future naval capabilities on the operational success of U.S. naval forces. To accomplish this goal, research efforts combined systems engineering, operations research, and modeling and simulation to develop an Integration and Operations Support System (IOSS) that provides an experimentation environment to assist in forming a solid cost position for technological and doctrinal change, while identifying trade space for balancing budgetary and security issues. The IOSS is an innovative use of scenario methodologies, computer simulation, and experimentation to shape a strategic analysis framework for mission engineering, based on a scenario from an actual computer aided exercise, Cobra Gold 2018 (CG18). The Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) drives the operational vignettes for...

Developing New Tactics and Technologies in Naval Warfare: The MDUSV Example

2019

The article of record as published may be found at http://cimsec.org/developing-new-tacticsand-technologies-in-naval-warfare-the-mdusv-example/39436The United States Department of Defense [DoD] and the military services have employed wargaming for well over a century to prepare for war and other operations. The Naval War College first employed naval wargames in the late 19th century at the tactical and strategic levels. During the period between world wars, Plan Orange wargaming at the Naval War College was a key contributor to the strategic plan that led to the defeat of the Japanese Empire in 1945. Since that conflict, wargaming techniques have become widespread within U.S. organizations and throughout the world
