Technical Information Activities

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) supports upgrading the accuracy, timeliness, availability, and accessibility of scientific, technical, and management information at all levels of the Army Research and Development (R&D) community. Management of this information is critical to achieve the goals established by the Army's Senior Leadership. Use of accurate and timely technical information is essential to successfully meeting the milestones required on the path to the future force, allowing Army Science and Technology (S&T) leadership to refine investment strategy and quickly react to emerging opportunities and issues. This PE includes initiatives to improve information derivation, storage, access, display, validation, transmission, distribution, and interpretation, along with initiatives to develop and enhance a single business model for Army S&T knowledge management information technology and to provide for Independent Review Team analysis of technology maturity as part of the Technology Readiness Assessment. Develops and publishes Army S&T strategy and policies, sets Army S&T priorities, establishes and tracks S&T metrics to determine earned value and return on investment, and performs S&T studies in support of the ASA(ALT) in Project 727. Project 731 provides funding for support for Army high performance computing centers. Project 733 provides funding for improvements to the Army's acquisition process. Project CC2 provides funding for Expeditionary Technologies (X-Tech Search) to evaluate the feasibility and potential application of disruptive technologies to Army capability gaps. Project DW3 supports Army Geospatial Enterprise (AGE) Implementation with systems engineering, architecture, and test and certification of Army Acquisition Systems. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology Modernization Priorities and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this PE is performed by the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg, MS; the Army Geospatial Center (AGC) in Alexandria, VA; the Information Management Office, Arlington, VA; the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army, Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA(ALT)), The Pentagon, Arlington, VA; Army Futures Command (AFC) Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD; and AFC CCDC Ground Vehicle Systems Center, Warren, MI.
