Emerging Capabilities Technology Development
Abstract
This funding develops emerging capabilities and prototypes in support of near and mid-term irregular warfare and stability operations. The framework is guided by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering, the DASD RF, and the Rapid Reaction Technology Office science and technology objectives and focus areas. With an emphasis on interagency and service partnerships, initiatives are developed to pursue risk-reducing prototypes and demonstrations in order to produce capability options that anticipate and inform formal joint and interagency requirements and acquisition processes. Individual projects generally span a two to four year period, typically at a cost of less than $4.000 million, and are demonstrated and fielded in spirals within the project timeline. During FY 2014, the ECTD Program enhanced its focus on rapid prototyping of high-payoff technologies. This program element has evolved from exclusive support of force transformation activities to the activities described above, which are more closely aligned with departmental goals.
