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.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2016 reprogramming entry of $38.000 million represents the net of $12.000 million for the Long Endurance Airborne Platform (LEAP) project to improve battlespace awareness in the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) area of responsibility (AoR), $30.000 million to support the Missile Defeat Project to address operational needs in the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) and U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) AoRs, and a -$4.000 million below threshold reprogramming to Program Element 0603648D8Z to remunerate for funds extended to ECTD during 2016 on behalf of the Missile Defeat Project. The FY 2018 baseline funding increase of $27.973 million reflects an increase of $18.000 million for High Energy Laser, $10.000 million for the baseline transfer of the India S&T program from Joint Capability Technology Development (Program Element 0603648D8Z), and a $0.027 million reduction to pay for higher priority DoD requirements.
