Advanced Component Development and Prototypes

Abstract

The CWMD Cross-Cutting Technical and Information Sciences project develops mature technologies tied to existing programs in the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Budget Activity (BA) 3, Advanced Technology Development (ATD) portfolio. This investment helps bridge the developmental gap between science and technology and the advanced developers, effectively increasing the likelihood of transitioning capabilities to the warfighter. This project focuses on development and demonstration of high fidelity models and prototypes for testing in an operational environment, evaluation of integrated systems, technology transition, and rapid insertion of CWMD capabilities to meet critical national security and defense priorities. It specifically supports efforts to successfully transition capabilities from BA3 portfolio to advanced developers or into the hands of end-users for operational experimentation.
