Mission

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, US government, and allied stakeholders to identify, influence, and accelerate early-stage technology development that address national and collective security challenges.

Objectives

Create a multi-institutional, semi-structured learning community to:

• Inform technologists about emerging national security challenges.
• Build trust and mutual understanding between diverse communities of experimenters.
• Foster innovation and collaboration across government, industry and academia.
• Facilitate government exploration of emerging technologies.
• Provide a robust easy access venue to support rapid prototyping and experimentation.
