Thunderstorm
Abstract
This portfolio examines and explores emerging technologies and prototypes via a series of technology demonstrations and other activities conducted by the Rapid Reaction Technology Office within the office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Emerging Capability & Prototyping. Thunderstorm enhances interagency and international collaboration and provides the Department of Defense (DoD) and participating partners with an opportunity to evaluate and assess the capabilities of new and emerging technologies, primarily in the fields of air, space and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). In addition, Thunderstorm provides an opportunity for technology developers to interact with a specific operational command and/or other government personnel to determine how specific efforts and systems may support or enhance warfighter capability needs. Technology developers are given the opportunity to demonstrate selected technologies in geographically and operationally relevant scenarios. Thunderstorm demonstration objectives, performance measures, lessons learned, post-demonstration assessments and data evaluation serve to inform future DoD technology investments and identify new capabilities and/or new ways to employ existing capabilities.
