Maturation and Modernization
Abstract
Provides a core AF capability to execute prototyping efforts for acquisition and technological risk reduction to provide rapid results for the Air Force and increased acquisition maturation and initiation of high-confidence programs of record. This also provides for other activities needed to mature and modernize concepts and systems to transition to traditional program offices. These activities are executed across multiple security levels and include but are not limited to, developmental security operations, agile software development and integration, prototyping, testing, field assessments, concept maturation, initial product support planning, prototype deployments to operational locations, to deliver decision quality data and move concepts from R&D to acquisition program offices. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver RACM capabilities for emergent or unanticipated weapon system capability. The use of such program's funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY25 0.550M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
