Special Operations Advanced Technology Development
Abstract
This program element conducts rapid prototyping and Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs). ATDs provide a means for demonstrating and evaluating the utility of emerging/advanced technologies in as realistic an operational environment as possible by Special Operations Forces users. Evaluation results are included in a transition package, which assists in the initiation of or insertion into an acquisition program. The program element includes FY 2010 Overseas Contingency Operations funding for SOF Combat Identification efforts and also addresses projects that are a result of unique joint special mission or area-specific needs for which a few-of-a-kind prototypes must be developed on a rapid response basis, or are of sufficient time sensitivity to accelerate the prototyping effort of a normal acquisition program in any phase.
