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.

Please join us for our next Meyer Seminar: Saronic unmanned systems!

NPS CRADA partner Saronic Technologies is redefining maritime operations with its cutting-edge Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs), designed for intelligence, surveillance, and high-risk missions. Their fleet—ranging from the agile 6-ft Spyglass to the powerful 24-ft Corsair—features modular payloads, resilient communications, and AI-driven autonomy for adaptive swarm tactics and contested environments. Built for scale, these ASVs enhance naval dominance with smart navigation, rapid deployment, and seamless manned-unmanned teaming. 

WHY THIS MATTERS: Saronic’s ASVs provide the Navy with an adaptable, scalable, and survivable force multiplier—ensuring rapid response and operational superiority in evolving maritime threats.

This brief will be SECRET//NOFORN.

The Winter Quarter Pre-Departure Briefing will be held from 1215-1300 in the King Hall Auditorium. Attendance is required for all students who are preparing to graduate this quarter.
