Asymmetric Force Application and Autonomous Systems Focus Areas

Abstract

FCT will invest in cross-domain, innovative, non-traditional technologies for new and emerging capabilities from international partners to enable cost-leveraging, increase competition, and provide more efficient solutions for our forces during maneuver and engagement operations. Solutions will reduce U.S. reliance on overleveraged blue capabilities and creatively exploit increasingly capable adversary systems while adjusting the cost curve in our favor. Applications of particular interest are those able to provide an innovative technology offset and/or cost calculus advantage. Our allies have made particular progress in the development of systems that offer a significant cost advantage in procurement or operation and reduce the amount of manpower necessary to effectively conduct operations. In addition, FCT will continue to seek out increased interoperability across platforms and systems. These technologies will be likely candidates for evaluation under the FCT program.
