Emerging Capabilities Technology Development
Abstract
The ECTD funding supports projects that reduce the technology risk of emerging capabilities by advancing proof of principle prototypes in support of near and mid-term operational engagements and stability operations. The framework is guided by the ASD(R&E), DASD(EC&P) and the Rapid Reaction Technology Office's science and technology objectives and focus areas. With an emphasis on interagency and joint partnerships, ECTD develops initiatives to produce capability options that anticipate and inform formal joint and interagency requirements and acquisition processes. Individual projects generally span one to three years, typically at a cost of less than $4.000 million, and are demonstrated and released in spirals within the project timeline. The ECTD Program focuses on rapid prototyping of emerging technologies including electromagnetic spectrum-agile capability options, multi-domain, autonomous systems, counter-weapons of mass destruction, and dismounted soldier systems.
