Upcoming JIFX - Field Experimentation
Naval Postgraduate School — Joint Interagency Field Experimentation (JIFX) · the publisher calls it «Testing and experimentation»
JIFX 27-1 is a field experimentation event at the NPS Field Laboratory at Camp Roberts, held 2–5 November 2026, on resilient autonomy in contested environments. It lists approved experiments covering drone detection, counter-UAS, autonomous ISR and drone energy, and the page offers a registration link but no submission deadline. (machine-written summary)
