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. This helps to solve critical national security challenges in partnership with the Services, Defense Agencies, Combatant Commands (COCOMS), Joint Chiefs of Staff, Intelligence Community, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). 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 (PE) 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 the nature of these projects, specific applications and detailed plans are available at a higher classification level.

Change Summary Explanation
Funding decreases were used to pay for higher priority DoD Bills. This update reflects continued project funding in FY 2017 for six SCO projects: Land-Based Rail Gun (LBRG) and Land-Based and Sea-Based Powder Guns, Advanced Navigation, Enhanced Munitions, Sea Dragon, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Payloads, and Sea Mob. The FY 2017 funding request includes reduction of $18.770 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
