FY 2011 JCTD New Starts
Abstract
FY 2011 JCTD new starts will be identified under the revised JCTD selection process which will begin with a Candidate Nomination Board in May 2010 followed by a Candidate Decision Board (CDB) in July 2010. This will allow the Department to rapidly execute the JCTDs needed in FY11 to meet the Combatant Commands (CoComs) most pressing needs as soon as FY11 funds becomes available. In addition, quarterly CDBs will be held throughout the year to address emerging CoCom needs. JCTD's indentified in these quarterly CDBs will be initiated throughout the year as funds are identified. The revised JCTD selection process provides a much more rapid and agile delivery of capabilities to meet urgent CoCom needs than the incremental programming and budgeting methods of the deliberative Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) process. This new project selection process will respond directly to time-sensitive CoCom needs, as well as other innovative technology source inputs from the Department’s Experimentation Program, laboratories, industry and other rapid response programs. In accordance with expected trends identified in the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) report, reflecting emerging CoCom needs, new start FY11 JCTD projects are expected to focus on the following thrust areas: Defend the US and Support Civil Authority at Home – Improve responsiveness and flexibility of consequence management, enhance capabilities for domain awareness, and accelerate the development of standoff radiological/nuclear detection capability. Counterinsurgency, Stability, and Counterterrorism Operations – Expand unmanned systems for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, key enabling assets for special operations forces and strengthen tactical communication capabilities. Build the Security Capacity of Partner States – Enhance linguistic, regional, and cultural ability, strengthen and expand capabilities for training partner forces, enhance ability to react to natural disasters, and continue development of the tools to support cooperative operations. Prevention Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction – Enhance nuclear forensics, new verification technologies, countermeasures and defense of nontraditional agents. Improve Unity of Effort – Support the whole-of-government approach to national security through partnerships with other government agencies to improve intelligence collection and analysis, and support civil authorities at home. Climate & Energy – Develop the tools needed to perform environmental stewardship at DoD installations, and support resource efficiency and sustainment goals. Cyber Security – Counter threats in cyberspace through demonstrations of new tools in partnership with other agencies.
