Combating Terrorism Technology Support (CTTS) - OCO
Abstract
The Combating Terrorism Technical Support (CTTS) program supports the National Defense Strategy (NDS) and will give those identified peer-to-peer high interest areas increased priority. CTTS also recognizes that many of the combating terrorism requirements already supports many of these high interest areas; to include, increasing lethal capability of U.S. forces at the squad and small unit level; countering Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones) overseas and domestically; tunnel detection and mapping in theater and along the Southwest U.S. border; novel body and vehicle armor; detecting and mitigating novel chemical threats against commercial transportation; telematics; covert communications; and the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence. CTTS continues to focus its R&D activities to rapidly fill the immediate and critical capability gaps of military operators, intelligence analysts, and first responders that are at the leading edge of the fight or response. The FY 2021 Congressionally directed and funded cooperative 50-50 cost sharing RDT&E projects with Israel to address countering small unmanned aerial vehicles and enhance detection of and operations in tunnels will continue in FY 2022 or until the funds are expended.
