(U)Rapid Technology Capability Prototype

Abstract

The Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) directed the formation of the Marine Corps Rapid Capabilities Office (MCRCO) to accelerate the identification, development, and assessment of emergent and disruptive technology. The MCRCO seeks emergent and disruptive technology to rapidly develop and assess operational prototypes that increase Marine Air Ground Task Force survivability and lethality by providing operational assessments to accelerate requirement development and investment planning. MCRCO conducts data collection at intervals throughout this period of time to capture Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), military utility, and system performance. Prototypes will be assessed at a Technology Readiness Level 7 (TRL 7) or higher, being either non-developmental government or commercial off-the-shelf or developmental items. MCRCO utilizes collected data to generate a Capability Assessment Report (CAR), requirement, and acquisition recommendation for decision by the General Officer Board of Directors (GOBOD).
