Advanced Innovative Technologies
Abstract
The Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) identifies, analyzes, demonstrates, and transitions game-changing applications of existing and near-term technology--and other U.S. Government capabilities--to shape and counter emerging threats. Currently focused on the Asia-Pacific Rebalance, SCO combines capability innovation with concepts of operation and information management to develop novel concepts often crossing Service, Defense-Intelligence, and multi-classification divides--to solve critical national security challenges in partnership with the Services, Combatant Commands, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Intelligence Community, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. SCO analyzes, demonstrates, and red-teams these concepts on an accelerated time frame to enable subsequent programmatic decisions on alternative capabilities that have greater mission impact and lower cost. The Advanced Innovative Technologies Program Element contains projects that include in-depth analysis to determine technical and operational performance and risk, component- and subsystem-level prototyping and testing to reduce risk, and operational demonstrations to prove concept viability prior to subsequent programmatic decisions. Due to nature of these projects, specific applications and detailed plans are available at higher classification levels.
