Emerging Technology Initiatives

Abstract

Emerging Technology Initiatives funds prototyping and demonstration of selected technology enabled capabilities to defeat emerging threats against ground, aviation, command, control, communications & reconnaissance systems and equipment, precision weapons, and Soldier equipment. Funding facilitates maturation and demonstration of emerging technologies and systems in relevant varied environments and tactical/operational scenarios. The primary goal is to deliver experimental prototypes for residual combat capability through a collaborative and accelerated acquisition process for transition to a Program of Record in an Army or DoD Program Management Office. Technologies will be demonstrated in operational environments, performing tactical/operational scenarios. This Program Element also funds civilian personnel in support of these projects.
