CoCom Direct Support, Pre-Transition and Classified Programs
Abstract
The JCTD Direct Program Support is comprised of four programs broken-out separately from the specific JCTDs projects. The direct funding line is used to provide support for the entire JCTD program (versus individual JCTDs). These three programs include (1) Unified Combatant Commander (CoComs); (2) JCTD Pre-Transition Support; (3) Interagency Classified Projects, and 1) Unified Combatant Commander (UCC) Direct Support: The CoComs play an essential role in the selection, validation, demonstration, and transition of JCTDs. The focus of JCTDs is to directly fill joint CoCom/coalition capability gaps. Many JCTDs have funding allocated for the CoComs from within their specific program funding lines. Additionally, in previous years the Rapid Fielding Directorate would attempt to provide direct demonstration support from OSD if resources became available. This direct support allows for a timely allocation of resources to the CoComs, based on the number of JCTD projects being sponsored and the intensity of effort required. The Department also envisions that the CoComs will play a greater role in the development, support and coordination of JCTDs that are coalition oriented (within their specific AOR). 2) JCTD Pre-Transition Support: The JCTD program has been highly successful in rapidly developing and demonstrating new technologies and complementary concepts of operations for the warfighter. In order to successfully transition more JCTDs to the warfighter, the SECDEF established the goal of increasing the number of JCTDs evolving into formal acquisition programs. In order to enhance this transition effort and to respond to GAO recommendations in earlier years, the JCTD program continues to support a pre-transition line in the JCTD budget submission. 3) Special Capabilities Office (SCO)/Interagency Classified Support for JCTDs: JCTDs also support a limited number of classified efforts which are coordinated with other agencies and detailed in separate DoD budget exhibits.
