Combating Terrorism - Technology Development

Abstract

This Program Element demonstrates technologies with high payoff potential to address current technology shortfalls or future capability gaps. Efforts include: hybrid electric power technologies to reduce use of fossil fuel generators; technology development to provide significant gains in ground vehicle energy efficiency; rapidly deployable force protection technologies to enable troops at small, remote bases or integrated within local communities to detect, assess and defend against a range of enemy threats; and technology system red-teaming to stress and assess emerging systems earlier in the life-cycle, and provide a more holistic understanding of employment risks in operationally-representative environments and against potential threats. This Program Element supports the Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I), Ground and Innovation Enablers Portfolios. Work in this project is complementary to and is fully coordinated with PE 0602105A (Materials Technology), PE 0602270A (Electronic Warfare Technology), PE 0602303A (Missile Technology), PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices), PE 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology), 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology), PE 0603270A (Electronic Warfare Technology), PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced Technology), and PE 0603734A (Military Engineering Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Program Element is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM) and the Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC).
