Ready-to-field virtual communication technology that could significantly enhance how a land-based subject matter expert (SME) remotely supports a warfighter at sea were validated at a recent Navy-led exercise at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) in California. The exercise — called Repair Technology Exercise (REPTX) Distance Support and led by Naval Sea Systems Command’s Chief Technology Office — involved collaboration between Department of Defense stakeholders and industry partners from March 21 to 23 across three locations at NSWC PHD. These locations included the Underway Replenishment Test Site, the offshore supply vessel MS Ocean Valor and the drone cage at NSWC PHD’s Fathomwerx Lab in the Port of Hueneme.
