Emerging Technology Initiatives

Abstract

Emerging Technology Initiatives will fund rapid prototyping and delivery of residual combat capability to enable the Army Modernization Priorities and the National Defense Strategy. These efforts include long range precision fires, air and missile defense, ground, aviation, soldier, command, control, computers, communications, cyber, intelligence surveillance & reconnaissance missions. The primary goal is to deliver experimental prototypes to an unit of action through a collaborative and accelerated acquisition process. Technologies will be demonstrated in relevant environments, performing tactical/operational scenarios.
