Cross Functional Team (CFT) Advanced Development & Prototyping
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) is the Army led scope of the Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve (RDER) initiative. To facilitate rapid modernization of the force, the RDER initiative was established in the Defense Planning Guidance for Fiscal Year 2023-2027, to encourage multi-component experimentation through a campaign of learning. Services, Agencies, and other participating organizations are to identify "best of breed" capabilities developed among the DoD prototyping programs and execute approved projects through large-scale experiments in order to refine and/or validate the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC). Organizations are to nominate proposals to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) that are multi-component - involving Joint Services, International partners and/or other government agencies - and link to one or more of the four key supporting concepts ("functional battles") of the Joint Warfighting Concept: Joint Concept for Fires, Joint Concept for Command and Control, Joint Concept for Contested Logistics, and Joint Concept for Information Advantage. Army lead experimentation outcomes will be designed to validate required capabilities enabling the JWC by evaluating and integrating prototyped technologies in operationally relevant, multi-domain environments. Experimentation results will facilitate Joint Staff analysis in the evaluation of the Joint Warfighting Concept, assist the Joint Requirements Oversight Counsel in requirements determination, and inform the Deputy's Management Action Group to make budget decisions that affect changes throughout the Department. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering science and the JWC. Work in this PE is performed by the United States (U.S.) Army and other Service laboratories and research centers, U.S. Army and Joint Program Executive Offices and Program Management Offices.
