The Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) is a series of coordinated cross‐campus educational and research activities synchronized by the Chair of Systems Engineering Analysis with a central theme of interest to the United States Navy. Its purpose is to expose NPS faculty and students to emerging naval challenges and opportunities to allow relevant education and research across campus.
Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) Workshop: Hybrid Force 2045 September 2021 After Action Report

The September 2021 workshop "Hybrid Force 2045" tasked participants to apply emerging technologies to shape the way we fight in a 2045 global conflict depicted in the fictional scenario "Hybrid War 2045".Concept generation teams were given the design challenge: How might emerging technologies, new operational concepts, and alternative fleet designs contribute to a more effective naval force across the spectrum from competition to conflict? How do the alternative fleet designs enhance the effectiveness and resilience of joint, combined and coalition forces across all domains? Following panel discussions and presentations from leading technical and policy experts, the teams and their embedded facilitators had fourteen hours of scheduled concept generation time to meet that challenge and presented their best concepts on the final morning of the workshop.
Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education and Research (CRUSER) Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) Workshop Final Report
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2017-12) Englehorn, Lyla; Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education and Research (CRUSER)
The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education and Research (CRUSER) provides a collaborative environment and community of interest for the advancement of unmanned systems (UxS) education and research endeavors across the Navy (USN), Marine Corps (USMC) and Department of Defense (DoD). CRUSER is a Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) initiative to build an inclusive community of interest on the application of unmanned systems (UxS) in military and naval operations. This final report summarizes concepts generated by five teams of junior officers and early career engineers over the course of three days.
September 2024 Warfare Innovation Continuum Workshop Final Report: Non-Permissive Global Sea Control
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2024-12) Englehorn, Lyla A.; Naval Warfare Studies Institute (NWSI)
This Naval Warfare Studies Institute (NWSI) Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) workshop was held 23-26 September 2024 on the campus of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California and allowed NPS students a focused interaction with faculty, staff, fleet officers, and visiting engineers from Navy labs and industry. The September 2024 workshop, Non-Permissive Global Sea Control, tasked participants to consider emerging technologies and how they might shape the way we fight. Within a fictional scenario involving near future global conflict titled Global Great Power Disruption concept generation teams were tasked to address the design challenge: How might emerging technologies, existing capabilities, and new operational force employment create opportunities to enhance the Navy’s ability to deny adversaries, or ensure use of the maritime domain in non-permissive environments? With embedded facilitators, teams had three days to meet that challenge and presented their best concepts on the final morning of the workshop. The full participant roster of 186 individuals included representatives from 63 different organizations. NPS students and faculty drawn from departments and organizations across the NPS campus made up 26% of the total participants. Workshop participants joined us from six of the ten warfare centers, two of the warfighting development centers, two operational commands and a naval leadership organization. Other government organizations and academic partners also participated. Industry organizations both large and small working on projects across a wide gamut of domains sent representatives to support the work, as did the Brazilian Navy. Of the eight teams working through the design challenge, five teams worked the challenge unclassified – one remotely – and three teams worked in classified spaces. Participants were asked to propose both capabilities and concepts of operation (CONOPS) and employment (CONEMP) for notional future systems employment in a plausible real-world scenario with the intent of maximizing future warfighting advantage. From all the concepts generated during the ideation phase, each team selected concepts to present in their final briefs. Common themes across the concepts generated were focus on distributed, resilient systems; emphasis on using emerging technologies creatively; recognition of environmental considerations; importance of international cooperation; need for redundant systems and backup capabilities; balance between innovation and practical implementation; an consideration of human factors and trust in new systems. All concepts generated are described fully in this report.
