Joint Interagency Field Experiment (JIFX) 24-4

Joint Interagency Field Experiment 24-4

Stucan team with partners have been selected for the Joint Interagency Field Experiment (JIFX) 24-4 at Camp Roberts CA from 5-9 August 2024.

Stucan team will be experimenting with new technologies in the desert of Califonia, the following will be on show and tested with other participants in this year's field experiment:

AI Spatial Computing - (Hedaen) 

Hadean’s AI-powered spatial computing Platform is a super-orchestrator. Sitting at the infrastructure layer, it digitally integrates modern and legacy simulation and data-driven systems meeting the user needs to represent and use in a common operating picture. The Hadean Platform empowers users to bring real-time systems together at the theatre-level scale and complexity for maximum realism.

Integrates inputs from disparate systems into a distributed synthetic environment. This includes game engines, advanced combat modeling trainers, and data exploitation platforms – visualized through Hadean’s graphical user interface.

A pattern of life simulation delivers an out-of-the-box national and city-scale behavioral model of millions of AI civilians.

Employs a Large Language Model (LLM) to augment a scenario on the fly through natural language prompts.

Mobile Modular Shoot House - (Kontek)

Mobile Modular Shoot House (MMSH) offers a more immersive training environment closely mimicking actual combat scenarios. The realistic setting of shoot houses enables trainees to prepare more effectively for real-world situations. Shoot houses also allow for training in team tactics, such as room clearing and communication, which are difficult to replicate in traditional shooting ranges. Tactical training is an essential aspect of military operations. However, traditional training methods such as shooting ranges and simulations often fail to prepare trainees adequately for real-world scenarios due to their lack of realism and emphasis on teamwork, decision-making, and stress inoculation. The aim is to integrate LIVE, Virtual, and Constructive training using MMSH to enhance the warfighter's ability to operate in a highly complex and stressful domain.

QUICKBLOCK Rapid Construction System - (QUICKBLOCK)

The QUICKBLOCK Shelter system is being developed with a variety of use cases in mind including emergency HADR / Shelter, expeditionary accommodation, command cells, or protective structures.

The technology we will be testing is:

· QUICKBLOCK made from recycled polypropylene, delivered in a flatpack.

· Windows consisting of vacuum-formed recycled polymers · Roofing panels consisting of vacuum-formed polymers

· Door units consisting of vacuum-formed polymers

· Time permitting, we will also incorporate several other features into the shelter system including electrical services and ways in which we can incorporate Camouflage, Concealment, and Detection to limit observability
across the optical, infrared (IR), and radio-frequency (RF) spectra.

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 which enable DoD, the US government, and allied stakeholders to identify, influence, and accelerate early-stage technology development that addresses 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.
