Intelligence Advanced Development

Abstract

(U) Program Element (PE) Intelligence Advanced Development (IAD) demonstrates and validates advanced technologies required to support warfighter needs for timely all-source intelligence information. IAD research supports global awareness, consistent battlespace knowledge, precision information, and the execution of time-critical missions. IAD projects provide better on-time information to the warfighter by using new and existing data sources, streamlining data analyses, reducing the required intelligence footprint, and by extending the life of sensors in place as well as enhancing their performance. The Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome Research Site, Information and Intelligence Exploitation Division (AFRL/RIE) works directly with users, employing a rapid prototyping evolutionary approach, then integrating finished modules directly into the field. The programs are oriented towards specific shortfalls and deficiencies as documented by the major commands, combatant commands, and intelligence organizations in their mission and functional area plans. The goal of this PE is to expedite technology transition from the laboratory to operational use via rapid prototyping. This Air Force (AF) PE is focused on technology insertion to correct AF intelligence deficiencies at tactical and operational levels. The PE bridges the transition of new technologies from Advanced Technology Demonstrations and Integrated Technology Thrust Programs into current/new systems, and also supports the associated Defense Technology Objectives. IAD may reallocate existing resources to support out-of-cycle new/updated warfighter requirements. This PE is in Advanced Component Development & Prototypes (ACD&P), Budget Activity 4, because it demonstrates and validates advanced technologies that enhance information / intelligence systems' capabilities and techniques.
