MCTSSA Marines and Engineers have created a Marine Littoral Regiment (MLR) Battle Lab in which current and emerging MLR C4I systems and transmission pathways are hosted within a baselined architecture on persistent networks connecting to other Department of Defense service labs. The MLR Battle lab serves to provide experimentation and demonstrations supporting events such as: JADC2, Project Convergence, Project Overmatch and Naval Live, Virtual and Constructed exercises. The MLR Battle Lab participation in these events provide a representative capability to our Naval, Joint and Coalition partners as well as operational vignettes in which to integrate and evaluate USMC C4I systems within a Distributed Maritime and Expeditionary Advanced Basing Operational constructs against a pacing adversary.
During this session, Dave Thomas will discuss how MCTSSA is advancing future operating concepts through MLR Battle Lab participation in a federated DOD lab experimentation/demonstration and MCTSSA’s pathways to operationalize configurations and concepts that support the Fleet Marine Force.
