Rapid Prototyping Program
Abstract
The Rapid Prototyping Program (RPP) develops prototypes to deliver capabilities, inform requirements, and bridge the gap between RDT&E activities and fieldable solutions. 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 critical 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 OUSD(R&E) critical technology areas, and Service and Agency needs to enable rapid response to emergent and time-sensitive threats.
