**Job summary**:
The DEVELOP Directorate leads the development of the Royal Navy’s future warfighting capability and acts as the platform for the through-life capability for all maritime capabilities in order to achieve the optimum mix of present and future warfighting technologies for a modern, global and ready Royal Navy.

DEVELOP is divided into two parts, **Maritime **Capability and Force Development **and** Capability Sponsor.**

Maritime Capability and Force Development** **is responsible for developing the changing and future demands of our operational commitments as outlined within the Defence Plan, Transformation Plan and Navy Command Plan by delivering a more agile and adaptable military capability.

The Capability Sponsor delivers an ambitious capability portfolio: cohering all capability development programme and project activity across Navy Command, owning the Capability Management Plan and effective prioritisation of resources to meet the Navy’s strategic priorities and outcomes, and creating first-class project control and management functions across a diverse and complex portfolio.

Through the development of future concepts, DEVELOP also leads future thinking beyond these headmarks and seeks to harness DSTL research to exploit the novel, affordable, battle-winning technologies of tomorrow and houses the NavyX Team which is driving innovation throughout the Naval Service. It also leads NCHQ’s Strategic and Maritime Force Development activity, collaborating with US and NATO allies on international capability development.

The Force Development (FDev) team sit within Develop and holds responsibility also for delivery of MUS OPEX. This team is primarily responsible for producing a single coherent Navy Command view of the future maritime force beyond the Funded Force (0-10 years), through the Future Force (10-20 years) and into the Conceptual Force (20 years onwards).

The FDev team work with the Defence Strategic Force Development (SFD) process (through DCDC/JW and MoD Head Office), providing a coherent Navy input, ensuring an appropriate understanding of current and future maritime capabilities. Furthermore, it ensures that the outputs of the strategic / operational level Head Office Force Development are translated into the operational and tactical understanding for the maritime environment. This provides context for the Capability Management Plan (CMP) process and a mechanism to assess the effectiveness of the CMP. The FDev team routinely engage with other Commands and international allies and partners and assist in promoting a common understanding of capability requirement, where capabilities delivered by different Commands are required FDV to deliver a coherent output.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

**Job description**:
The Royal Navy conducts Operational Experimentation (OPEX) alongside Allies and international partners, in support of the intent of the Integrated Review, Integrated Operating Concept and Maritime Operating Concept among other key driving policy directives, as well as in support of specific commitments such as to the NATO Maritime Unmanned Systems Initiative (MUSI).

Maritime Unmanned/Autonomous Systems Operational Experimentation (MUS OPEX) is activity to plan, design, conduct and analyse experiments in support of new concepts and capabilities development, related in whole or in part to the employment and integration of Maritime Unmanned/Autonomous Systems. MUS OPEX incorporates Experimenting in Exercises (EiE), typically at Joint and Combined scale.

OPEX is the intersection between Operators and Innovation. With an operational bias, in representative settings and against operational problem sets in a typically Joint and Combined Allied collaborative environment, OPEX brings together Operators, niche experts and innovators (military, civilian, academic, industry and others) to enable a better understanding of what works, what does not, and why. OPEX uses controlled investigations to gain evidence in support of developing new concepts, ideas and capabilities.

OPEX seeks to reduce uncertainty, evaluate innovations objectively, identify solutions that may not be clear through study and analysis alone, and reduce the risk of selecting a poor solution. In Warfare Development, experimentation can bring potential capabilities to life in exercises and operational settings.

In an Allied setting, OPEX can inform the development of Alliance think
