Summary

[Analyzed from API Fallback] The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) is seeking proposals to prototype a new scalable operational framework known as the Prototypes and Experiments Rapid Fielding Sites (PERFS). This initiative aims to address the Navy's lack of a standardized, agile testing methodology for emerging technologies. The primary objective is to design, test, and validate a repeatable operational and business process that accelerates the integration, evaluation, and transition of disparate maritime and border defense technologies from laboratory environments to operational warfighters.
