NAVWAR kicked off the Networks Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (NetANTX) Challenge, a prize competition seeking operationally relevant innovations and emerging networking technologies, in support of Project Overmatch, a high priority Navy initiative aimed at delivering a more lethal, better-connected fleet of the future.

“This challenge allows us to identify solutions at speed,” said NAVWAR Commander Rear Adm. Doug Small. “Prize challenges open the competitive landscape to the most innovative teams and fantastic ideas – I can’t wait to see what they come up with.”

Small refers to Overmatch as the “connective tissue,” connecting platforms, weapons, and sensors together in a robust Naval Operational Architecture (NOA) that integrates with Joint All-Domain Command and Control

for enhanced Distributed Maritime Operations.
