Counter Improvised-Threat Technology Demonstration, Prototype Development, and Testing

Abstract

The Counter Improvised-Threat (C-IT) Technology Demonstration, Prototype Development, and Testing program element supports the development, demonstration, and testing of improvised threat defeat technologies to advance the JIDO analytical infrastructure, methods, and tools (JS) and enhance counter IED and counter small unmanned aerial system (JC) solutions. Advancements in advanced analytics include the continued production of custom software tools that leverage constantly-evolving machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms and methods increasing our ability to more quickly develop threat facilitation network connections and activities for the CCMDs. Driven by the current threat still facing deployed US forces, this investment also enables rapid development and delivery of capabilities that more-fully enable the identification, detection, prevention, neutralization, exploitation, and risk mitigation of IEDs, threat-small UASs, and their effects. This also includes test and evaluation facilities and capabilities.

Document Details

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2020
• Source ID: 0604134BR_4_0400_PB_2020
• Change Summary Explanation: The change in FY 2020 is due to the continuation of Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) at a lower level of funding than in FY 2019. The FY2020 OCO Request is for prioritized threat focused areas: Attack the Network, Home-made Explosives, (HME), Vehicle Borne IEDs (VBIED), and Buried IEDs. These will focus capability delivery to meet current warfighter requirements and the evolving threat where they are deployed. Investments in JS: Assist Situation Understanding are for Counter Threat Networks including early action to defeat their pathways and prevent adversaries from acquiring or enhancing their improvised threat capabilities.
