Combating Terrorism - Technology Development
Abstract
This Program Element demonstrates and evaluates emerging technologies and systems 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 in tactical generators; collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy to demonstrate technologies that provide significant gains in ground vehicle energy efficiency; demonstration of ground platform power management, generation, and distribution technologies that increase energy efficiencies and support the integration of advanced future capabilities; experimentation and red teaming of rapidly deployable technologies that enable troops at small, remote bases or integrated within local communities to detect, assess, and defend against a range of enemy threats; and red-teaming to stress and assess emerging systems earlier in the life-cycle, providing 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).
