Rapid Prototyping Program

Abstract

The Rapid Prototyping Program (RPP) develops prototypes that deliver needed capabilities, reduce technical and integration risk, and produce warfighter feedback leading to improved requirements and technology upgrades for programs of record. RPP project selection is guided by the priorities of the Department of Defense, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the Chairman’s Gap Assessment, and Service-identified gaps and needs. RPP rapidly develops and fields cross-cutting prototype capabilities that can be demonstrated in an operational environment to inform Department of Defense and Service leadership.
