Joint Interoperability Technology Development (Formerly Joint Advanced Concepts)

Abstract

This effort will investigate new concepts and technologies that fill critical warfighter needs with joint and interoperable systems at all echelons of warfare. Through advanced mathematics and engineering methodologies, the Joint Interoperability Directorate will work to institutionalize joint interoperability concepts throughout the DoD to ensure reduced fratricide, increased force effectiveness, and decreased taxpayer cost through fully interoperable weapons remains a focus throughout the acquisition/program development processes. Working closely with programs in the advanced technology development phase, this effort will result in reviews of program technology feasibility from an interoperability perspective and push to proof of concept through prototyping and modeling. Based on recent DDR&E reorganization, the requirements of the Joint Interoperability program have grown and evolved to cover areas beyond what they had been previously. Joint Interoperability now has additional efforts to review new technology, to develop advanced mathematics techniques to manage of large volumes of sensor data to solve DoD Battlefield challenges, and to review program documentation not only to ensure a joint and interoperable approach but also to mature technologies that advance warfighter effectiveness and that apply technology rapidly to battlespace challenges.

Change Summary Explanation
Due to reorganization within OUSD(AT&L) The Joint Advanced Concepts (JAC) office was closed and the Joint Interoperability Functions that were a part of the JAC mission have been moved to the Director, Defense Research and Engineering (DDRE). DDR&E Baseline Review. DDR&E implemented a zero-based review of the organization to align resources to the most critical priorities and eliminate lower priority functions resulting in an increase of $1.697M for the Math Program and other initiatives. Defense Efficiency – Report, Studies, Boards and Commissions. As part of the Department of Defense reform agenda, reflects a reduction in the number and cost of reports, studies, DoD Boards and DoD Commissions below the aggregate level reported in the previous budget submission. Defense Efficiency – Contractor Staff Support. As part of the Department of Defense reform agenda, reduces funds below the aggregate level reported in the previous budget submission for contracts that augment staff functions.
