David Thompson, the vice chief of space operations, said during a panel at the C4ISRNet conference.
Each prototype technology was grouped into one of six capability areas: command and control, communications, domain maneuver, fires and effects, fleet support, and operations in an information environment.
Naval leaders selected roughly 65 technologies, the majority of them from private industry. Assessors gauged each capability while observers envisioned relevant EABO/DMO scenarios in which each product could be used.
Technologies focused on radio frequency waveforms, autonomous air and sea vehicles, advanced sensors, optical communications, cybersecurity applications, and a variety of software capabilities.
“The assessments helped us understand exactly how those technologies could work in an operational environment,” said Matt Largent, a NIWC Atlantic engineer and NICE ANTX assessment lead. “That information is also extremely useful to the technology owners, since some products can be improved upon to help us with capability gaps we are looking to fill.”
