Abstract
This Naval Warfare Studies Institute (NWSI) and Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education and Research (CRUSER)–sponsored Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) workshop was held September 19–22, 2022 concurrently on both the Monterey campus and the “Virtual Campus” of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) via the ZoomGov online collaboration platform. The three-and-a-half- day experience provided facilitated focused interaction for NPS students, faculty from across the NPS campus, fleet officers, and guest engineers from Navy labs, warfare centers, system commands, and industry. The September 2022 workshop was themed “Future Hybrid Force” and tasked participants to apply emerging technologies to shape the way we might fight in a 2045 global conflict depicted in the fictional scenario “Global War 2045.” Concept generation teams were given the design challenge: How might the convergence of emerging technologies offer new operational concepts and force designs to create a more effective and resilient naval, joint, and coalition force across the spectrum of conflict and in all domains?
