Rapid Prototyping Program

Abstract

The Rapid Prototyping Program (RPP) develops prototypes to deliver capabilities, reduce risk, and inform requirements. RPP facilitates and accelerates joint, cross-cutting prototyping efforts within the Services and Defense Agencies. This program has the agility to select, fund, and implement projects in the year of execution as new opportunities or threats emerge. In consultation with the Service Science and Technology (S&T) executives, selected projects generally receive a single year of funding to accelerate capability transition to Services’ and Agencies’ programs of record. Projects deemed to be critical to Modernization by the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)) receive higher amounts of funding across multiple years. Planned funding supports the National Defense Strategy, the DoD modernization priorities, and Service and Agency needs, enabling rapid response to emergent and time-sensitive threats.
