Rapid Development and Deployment (RDD)

Abstract

Rapid Development and Deployment (RDD) provides an environment and process for rapid development and fielding of prototype solutions to meet urgent operational needs. The RDD process applies when existing DON processes cannot meet urgent operational needs. Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) have generated rapidly evolving military needs that require responsive materiel solutions. RDD is a fast track process for application, by exception, to Navy and USMC capability needs and materiel solutions that meet the following criteria: (1) Need identified during active or incipient combat or contingency operation, or (2) Need derived from combat survivability of the warfighter or impacts the success of the mission. RDD initiates projects to deliver prototype solutions that are not readily available off-the-shelf and that can be developed, integrated with other components and systems (as necessary), tested, and fielded within 270 days of need approval. RDD provides startup funds to initiate projects that meet the above criteria while other funding is made available within the year of execution. Rapid Development and Deployment (RDD) provides an environment and process for rapid development and fielding of prototype solutions to meet urgent operational needs. FY 2012 to FY 2013 funding reduction is due to realignment of funds for higher priority Naval needs.
