Intelligence Advanced Development

Abstract

Intelligence Advanced Development (IAD) develops and demonstrates technology required to support warfighter needs for timely all source intelligence information. IAD 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 using new and existing data sources, streamlining data analysis, reducing footprint required, and extending life of sensors in place and enhancing performance. The Air Force Research Lab, Rome Research Site, Information and Intelligence Exploitation Division (AFRL/RIE), develops prototype applications for evaluation in a realistic operating environment. The programs are oriented toward specific shortfalls and deficiencies as documented by the Major Commands (MAJCOMS), unified commands, and intelligence organizations in their mission and functional area plans. This PE expedites technology transition from the laboratory to operational users via rapid prototyping, focusing on technology insertion correcting AF intelligence deficiencies at the tactical and operational levels. This PE bridges the technology transition from Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs) and Integrated Technology Thrust Programs (ITTPs) to current/new systems, and also supports associated Defense Technology Objectives (DTOs). IAD may also reallocate existing resources to support out-of-cycle new/updated warfighter requirements. Requirements for this PE are identified and prioritized by the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Agency (AFISRA). Development of new/improved capabilities to meet these requirements is managed by AFRL/RIE. Prototype products, usually in the form of software, are provided to the users for operational environment evaluation. This Program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
