Rapid Prototype Development
Abstract
The Rapid Prototyping, Experimentation, and Demonstration (RPED) Program accelerates and increases our naval technology advantage. It's aligned to capability gaps and naval warfighting priorities. RPED leverages resources to provide rapid development of technologies into products that deliver urgently needed capability solutions. RPED gives Department of the Navy (DON) leadership the ability to respond to urgent and emergent operational needs that require immediate actions to mitigate current threats, offset future threats, and leverage advances in technology that will enable Naval forces to maintain their operational and technological superiority over potential adversaries. In accordance with the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS) this program enables a more agile, lethal, and resilient force by rapidly developing and fielding needed warfighting capabilities. Projects funded in this program are aligned with the tenants of the Chief of Naval Operations Design for Maritime Superiority Version 2.0 to rapidly acquire key platforms and payloads to achieve high velocity outcomes. Concepts and enabling technologies include; directed energy weapons, hypersonics, autonomous and unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and multi-domain operations. Oversight and accountability of projects funded by this program is provided by the DON Accelerated Acquisition Board of Directors (AABoD). Specific projects under this program will be selected and executed in accordance with the DON Accelerated Acquisition Process as described in SECNAVINST 5000.42.
