Abstract

This program supports the Department's initiatives to Defend the Homeland, Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage, and Taking Care of People. The program is required to fund I&S innovation capabilities and RDT&E analysis & assessments that enable our oversight responsibilities. Some initiatives span multiple fiscal years, whereas some are one-time initiatives. Funding supports multiple security research activities focused on technology development, automation, and modernization of capabilities across the Defense Security Enterprise, including Personnel Vetting, Physical Security, Industrial Security, and Critical Technology Protection. Activities also include proof of concept and application development related to enabling process improvement, efficiencies, and innovation. Security Activities focus on technology development, automation, and modernization of capabilities across the Defense Security Enterprise, including Personnel Vetting, Physical Security, Industrial Security, and Critical Technology Protection. Activities also include proof of concept and application development related to enabling process improvement, efficiencies, and innovation. Global Operations and Integration (GOI) requires expert engineering and technical assessments on a wide range of classified ISR capabilities that directly support National Defense Strategy (NDS) priorities. Develops and sustains technical knowledge while cultivating relationships within the special ISR capabilities community, including the InterAgency, necessary to inform DoD-level policy decisions and oversight and enable successful implementation in accordance with 2022 NDS priorities and objectives. In addition, senior-level education is provided for a better understanding to make informed decisions on ISR operations related initiatives, platforms, sensors, and force structure. Establishes and assesses oversight of the DoD ISR enterprise. Evaluates ISR enterprise performance and effectiveness in terms of strategic sufficiency and alignment to the NDS and monitor allied and partner ISR contributions. Provides expertise on matters of technical collection and operational employment. Provides ISR guidance, counsel, and options to national leaders on improving the near-term efficiency and effectiveness of ISR capabilities by spearheading the expedited delivery of ISR systems, technologies, policies, and processes in support of warfighter operations around the globe. This PE also supports the NDS line of effort to build a more lethal force by conducting research and evaluation of global ISR topics to modernize key capabilities, the NDS defense objective of establishing an unmatched twenty-first century National Security Innovation Base that effectively supports Department operations and sustains security and solvency, and the NDS strategic approach of reforming the Department’s business processes by simultaneously increasing performance and affordability while still minimizing risk.
