1 Accelerating Acquisition through Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Fielding Presented by: Denise Crimmins Director, USW Rapid Prototyping

2 Why? "Deliver performance at the speed of relevance. Success no longer goes to the country that develops a new nology first, but rather to the one that better integrates it and adapts its way of fighting." Ref: Summary of the 2018 National Defense Strategy of the United States of America. NDS Implementation requires integrated and focused teams of Operators, Technologists, and Acquisition Professionals TnTE2 method integrates Operators and Technologists New Accelerated Acquisition authorities from NDAA 16/17 TnTE2 and new Acquisition Authorities enable delivery of performance at the speed of relevance 2

7 Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX) Advanced Naval Technology Exercises (ANTX) are a series of exercises led by the Naval Research and Development Establishment (NR&DE) where industry, academia, and Government R&D organizations are invited to demonstrate emerging /engineering innovations that address priority USN and USMC missions. Demonstrate emerging nologies and innovations to address Navy and Marine Corps mission priorities and gaps Allow collaboration of industry, academia, and Government R&D organizations Provide an environment for the warfighters to assess the operational utility of nological innovations before these nologies become militarized and integrated at the operational level Provide a forum for informational exchanges and innovations where the naval nology community can review new nologies, exchange ideas, and foster collaboration Ship to Shore Maneuver Exploration and Experimentation (S2ME2) ANTX Distribution A: Approved for Public Release 7
