Advanced Innovative Analysis and Concepts

Abstract

The Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) conducts analysis in support of ongoing efforts to shape and counter emerging threats, with special emphasis on: innovative and architecture-level concepts, cross-Service and cross-Defense/Intelligence concepts, red-teaming, and on a case-by-case basis, research and development projects to demonstrate concept. SCO identifies, analyzes, and accelerates the development, demonstration, and transition of selected capabilities to shape and counter emerging threats, and to improve U.S. security posture. In a partnership endeavor across the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Joint Staff, Combatant Commands (CCMDs), the Services, the Intelligence Community (IC), and other U.S. Government agencies, SCO combines capability innovation with concepts of operation and information management to develop novel, high-leverage approaches to address pressing national security challenges. SCO conducts projects on accelerated timelines, at any classification or access level. The Advanced Innovative Analysis and Concepts Program Element supports development, studies, analysis, and demonstration of integrated concepts and prototypes, analysis in support of ongoing efforts to shape and counter emerging threats, cross-Service and cross-Defense/Intelligence concepts, and red-teaming. Projects focus on proving component and subsystem maturity prior to integration in major systems, and may involve risk reduction initiatives. Due to the nature of these projects, specific applications and detailed plans are available at a higher classification level.
