Emerging Capabilities Technology Development

Abstract

This Program Element is a new start in FY 2012 and reflects a transition from 0605799D8Z to 0603699D8Z in FY 2012. This funding request supports the development of emerging capabilities under the Director of Defense Research & Engineering’s (DDR&E) Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO). These funds are used to advance technical capabilities in mutual areas of interest through focused partnerships and projects with other federal departments and agencies. In addition to supporting interagency cooperation, this PE incubates selected concepts and technologies of interest to joint warfighters and their interagency partners to provide mature options as capability needs emerge in and beyond the FYDP. This includes developing risk-reducing prototypes to demonstrate capabilities in response to joint warfighter and interagency partners’ shared requirements; and informing the Joint Capabilities Integration & Development System (JCIDS) and acquisition system through technical demonstrations. Individual projects are developed and funded with interagency partners over a two to three year period – products are demonstrated and fielded in spirals within that project timeline – and generally do not include stand-alone studies. Funding for this PE permits support for four to five major projects per year. Typically, these projects support mid-term irregular warfare needs aligned with those of interagency partners, and often supports near term capability needs in support of the Department’s Rapid Fielding efforts. This PE has evolved from exclusive support of force transformation activities to the activities described above, more closely aligned with departmental goals.

Change Summary Explanation
Funding realignment from PE 0605799D8Z. Funds were transferred into this account to more closely aligned with departmental goals. 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 that resulted in an increase of $7.156M. 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 and Contractor Staff support below the aggregate level reported in the previous budget submission.
