Sommario/riassunto

Experimentation provides the means to enhance naval and joint force development. To assist the Navy in this effort, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) asked the NRC to conduct a study to examine the role of experimentation in building future naval forces to operate in the joint environment. This work covers this study.
