Abstract
This Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education and Research (CRUSER) sponsored Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) workshop was held 23-26 September 2019 on the campus of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California. The three and a half day experience allowed NPS students focused interaction with faculty, staff, fleet officers, and visiting engineers from Navy labs and industry. The workshop culminated in a morning of final concept briefs and fruitful discussion regarding the role of unmanned systems in the future naval force. This workshop also directly supported the Secretary of the Navy's (SECNAV) direction that CRUSER foster the development of actionable operational concepts for robotic and autonomous systems within naval warfare areas and work with our industry partners. The September 2019 workshop "Logistics in Contested Environments" tasked participants to apply emerging technologies to shape the way we fight. Within a near future extended conflict scenario, concept generation teams were given a design challenge: How might emerging technologies be employed to support logistics in contested environments to accomplish missions more effectively and/or with less risk? With embedded facilitators, teams had three days to meet that challenge, and presented their best concepts on the final morning of the workshop.
