AF Prototyping
Abstract
The rapidly evolving cyberspace domain demands highly flexible requirements, acquisition activities, and operations to respond to emerging opportunities or mitigate adversary actions. Salient to this mission area, rapid prototyping activities provide the structure to rapidly develop, evaluate, and integrate new cyber capabilities and inform the initial Unified Platform capability baseline during the early stages of technology maturation and delivery. Air Force Prototyping efforts support this need through rapid and exploratory research, prototype development, risk reduction, testing, and integration of cyber capabilities contributing to early operational development of the Unified Platform capability baseline. The USAF in conjunction with the Services and National Agencies execute operationally focused research and development and rapid prototyping to explore and determine validity of potential infrastructure, architectures, and capabilities/tools to support Cyber Mission Forces. These rapid prototyping efforts are tailored for near-immediate integration into the Unified Platform baseline (BA 7, PE 0208099F Unified Platform, BPAC 672281 Foundational Efforts) for delivery to cyber warfighters. Prototyping effort ended in FY21. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY21 0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY22 0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
