'''Concept development and experimentation (CD&E)''' is the application of the structure and methods of experimental science to the challenge of developing future military capability.

CD&E is a forward -looking process for developing and evaluating new concepts, before committing extensive resources. CDE is a process to identify the best solution not only from a technical perspective, but also for possible solutions for challenges involving doctrine, organization, training, and material to achieve significant advances in future operations. CD&E is a way of thinking your way through the future before spending money.

Developing and identifying future -oriented concepts allows youone to:

* test their validity/feasibility;

* take advantage of other studies/experiments conducted and

* save resources and avoid duplication.
