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

Abstract

This program element supports the development, demonstration, and testing of technologies to advance the analytical infrastructure, methods, and tools to enhance asymmetric countermeasure solutions. Advancements in analytics include the production of tools that leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence, increasing our ability to expedite the understanding of threat facilitation network connections and activities. This investment also enables development and delivery of capabilities to understand, anticipate, illuminate, isolate, and/or mitigate asymmetric threats and their effects. DTRA expedites technology transition from the laboratory to operational use to reduce risk within the acquisition process. This is done by evaluating integrated technologies or prototype systems in a high quality and realistic operating environment.

• Change Summary Explanation: The decrease from FY 2020 to FY 2021 reflects: (1) a realignment of funds to PE 0603160BR (Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction Advanced Technology Development) to fund higher priority investments including WMD counterterrorism technologies, and (2) Defense-Wide Review (DWR) adjustment of -$30.310 million resulting from reductions to DTRA’s lowest priority RDT&E programs and the transfer of C-IED programs to the Army to better align RDT&E efforts with the C-IED mission holder. The Army assumes executive agent responsibilities for C-IED effective 1 October 2020.
