The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will be hosting quarterly Joint Interagency Field Experimentation (JIFX) events www.nps.edu/fX throughout the 2015 fiscal year (FY15).

The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will host four Joint Interagency Field Experimentation (JIFX) events during the 2015 fiscal year in collaboration with S and T, operational representatives from Unified Combatant Commands, and interagency partners. These events serve as a platform for government research and development entities, academia, private industry, and nonprofit organizations to collaborate. The primary goal is to facilitate interactions between technology developers and operational personnel, enabling the evaluation of how emerging technologies can address or enhance Department of Defense and U.S. government capability needs. The JIFX events create an environment that encourages joint working relationships among diverse participants, fostering the identification and assessment of new and maturing technologies. Key performance attributes and parameters for developing such technologies are determined to guide future government efforts. The contract is associated with NAICS code 541712 and is organized by the Naval Postgraduate School under the Department of Defense, with the office located in Monterey, California. These quarterly events support innovation and operational relevance by bridging technology development with real-world applications and requirements.
