Operational Experimentation Online Press Room
OPEX is a compact, yet versatile organisation within NATO’s Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, based in Norfolk, Virginia, USA.
OPEX delivers transformation to the Alliance through the conduct of controlled investigations that discover information, test hypotheses, and validate concepts before committing significant resources.
With an operational bias, OPEX works with field operators and subject matter experts such as academia, industry, NATO/national bodies, and non-government organisations.
Experimentation enables the Alliance to better understand what works, what doesn’t, and why.
