Prototyping
Abstract
The Prototyping project enables demonstration of emerging technologies in an operational environment to determine and evaluate the completive advantage against our adversaries and how the technology is integrated into the future fight. Lifecycle Prototyping investments focus on three major thrusts (1) advancing capabilities of legacy weapon systems, (2) militarizing novel mature commercial technologies, and (3) exploring partnerships with Department of the Air Force Program Executive Officers to rapidly transition technologies that are being developed as part of the Department of Air Force Vanguard programs. Prototype project investments that advance capabilities of legacy weapon systems focus on kinetic energy effectors for base defense and expeditionary employment operations, a multi-source resilient Position Navigation and Timing pod, and software defined electronic warfare and communication capabilities. Prototype projects that seek to militarize novel mature commercial technologies will focus on artificial intelligence, autonomy, cyber warfare capabilities, digital engineering, and novel weapon and aircraft technologies. Finally, prototype projects that explore partnerships will invest in risk reduction activities in partnership with the Department of the Air Force Program Executive Officers assigned to each of the Department of the Air Force Vanguard Programs to ensure rapid and seamlessly transition of Science and Technology into warfighting capabilities.
