Description
Background and Summary: OSD desires to prototype a novel, scalable operational framework—the Prototypes and Experiments Rapid Fielding Sites (PERFS)—to rapidly integrate, evaluate, and transition disparate maritime and border defense technologies from laboratory environments to field operations. Problem: The Navy lacks a standardized, agile testing methodology and infrastructure capable of rapidly evaluating and integrating emerging intelligence, maritime, and border defense technologies against dynamic operational threats.
Desired Objectives: To design, test, and validate a repeatable operational and business process prototype that accelerates the evaluation and transition of maritime dominance and border defense capabilities to the warfighter. Please go to matac.org for additional details
