In this episode of Technically Speaking, co-hosts Chelsie Holloway and Alex Jackson give an extensive recap of NIWC Atlantic’s recent wartime readiness experiment. 

They break down why the System of Systems Naval Integration Experiment (SoSNIE) is so important to the creation of innovative Naval technology. This unique episode pulls in audio from multiple field interviews with attendees and participants of the event.  

You’ll hear how this hands-on experiment gave teams the chance to evaluate how well their capabilities hold up under stress -- testing everything from network communications to logistics to rapid prototyping.  

Chelsie and Alex speak with key engineers and project leads who share firsthand insights into what worked, what was learned, and how SoSNIE is evolving to meet the demands of tomorrow’s fight. 

Additionally, the episode features a special "Military Moment" with Lt. Chase Smeeks, a Navy Combatant Craft/SSN-8 Project Engineer who shares perspectives from his Navy career in supporting autonomous sea craft.  

Enjoy the different format of this episode that takes you back in time to March where on-the-spot interviews immerse you into a large-scale Naval readiness experiment!
