Description

A. INTRODUCTION The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will be hosting quarterly Joint Interagency Field Exploration (JIFX) events throughout the 2014 fiscal year (FY14). These events will focus on exploring the potential of new capabilities to address challenges faced by the United States ™ Combatant Commanders (AFRICOM, CENTCOM, EUCOM, NORTHCOM, PACOM, SOCOM, SOUTHCOM, STRATCOM, TRANSCOM) and the federal entities that support (or are supported by) the COCOMs. The Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security are the sponsoring entities for this event. This event is modeled on the successful US Special Operations Command “ Naval Postgraduate School ™s TNT/CBE events and is being conducted to provide the benefits of a multi institutional semi-structured learning environment for the conventional forces community. Companies, educational institutions, laboratories and other organizations are invited to submit white papers that may lead to an invitation to participate in the August JIFX event to be conducted at the NPS McMillan Airfield facility on Camp Roberts near Paso Robles, California. B. OBJECTIVES (1) Background: NPS will conduct JIFX events in cooperation with S&T and operational representatives from each of the Unified Combatant Commands (COCOMs), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and interagency partners 4 times in FY14. This cooperative JIFX event will be conducted with representatives from Government R&D organizations, academia, private industry and non-government/non-profit organizations. JIFX events provide an opportunity for technology developers to interact with operational personnel to determine how their technology development efforts and ideas may support or enhance USG/DoD/DHS capability needs. The environment facilitates a collaborative working relationship between Government, academia, industry and NGOs to promote the identification and assessment of emerging and maturing technologies with the primary goal of accelerating the delivery of enhanced capabilities to the end user. These events enable the identification of key performance attributes and parameters, associated with the development of new technologies, which can inform future acquisition activities. (2) Event Focus: The overall focus of JIFX will be to explore technologies that have the potential of rapidly increasing military and first responder capability, reducing the cost of current capabilities, providing options for reducing force structure associated with a capability, or providing a means to work and share more with partner nations and other organizations. General areas of interest for JIFX include: Command, Control, Communication, Computers / Situational Awareness (C4/SA) Ù  Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Ù  Cyber Security / Computer Network Security Ù  Information Sharing Ù  Crowdsourcing Tools Ù Transportation Logistics; Biometric Collection and Sharing Systems Ù  Electronic Warfare Ù  Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction Ù  Irregular Warfare Ù  Aircraft and Helicopter Survivability Ù  Energy Systems Ù  Humanitarian Assistance & Disaster Relief Ù  and other technologies that address a current or anticipated operational need. Other Special Requirements: DO NOT SUBMIT PROPOSALS. SUBMIT TECHNOLOGY EXPLORATION WHITE PAPERS ONLY. White paper submission deadliness may be found on the JIFX website. No contracts will be awarded based on this announcement or any subsequent supplemental RFI announcements.
