Recent Experimentation News

Experiment looks to inform future joint force operations USJFCOM's Joint Concept Development and Experimentation Directorate recently completed an experiment to develop and assess processes and technical capabilities to improve the execution of joint future joint distributed operations. The experiment, running for almost two years and ending soon, brought a human element together with previous simulations conducted during the project. • Comment on this article at USJFCOMLive

(SUFFOLK, VA. - Sept. 11, 2006) -- U.S. Joint Forces Command's (USJFCOM) Joint Experimentation Directorate here and 12 multinational partners began the latest phase in Urban Resolve (UR) 2015 experimentation here today.

The Urban Resolve series helps improve the warfighters' ability to operate and control the urban environment, isolate the adversary, and maintain urban stability by denying the enemy access to physical or information resources from which he could conduct de-stabilizing operations.

Running through Sept. 22, this second of three UR2015 human-in-the-loop (HITL) events let the wargamers control the experimentation to the point allowing them to inject battle field scenarios at any time instead of simply observing and analyzing unchangeable, pre-programmed scenarios.

As ongoing experimentation, UR2015 seeks solutions to close joint urban warfighting capability gaps.

Once those participating in the experimentation identify those solutions they pass them to warfighters to help them improve their ability to gain control of, and maintain, the urban environment in which they are fighting.
