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).

Change Summary Explanation
The $0.891M increase from FY 2021 to FY 2022 supports the complexity needed for prototype development, operational assessments and support services for Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) Self-Sufficiency, Unmanned Multi-Dimensional Battlefield Effects (UM-DBE), and All Source/All Shooter Fires Integration (AS2FI). The FY 2022 funding request was reduced by $1.340M to account for reprioritization while ensuring the Marine Corps continues to evolve toward a Force that is aligned with the National Defense Strategy. The FY 2022 funding request was adjusted by $1.308M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
