Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD)
Abstract
JCTD project selection is driven by the ability to accelerate transition of new prototyped capabilities to the Joint Warfighter that have strong CCMD and Joint Staff interest; cost-share commitments from the Military Services and Defense Agencies; advanced technical readiness; and a well-defined and affordable transition path for long-term sustainment. Project proposals are selected following a deliberate process that leverages a wide-ranging stakeholder community that includes the CCMDs, Joint Staff, Service science and technology (S&T) communities, academia, industry, the Intelligence Community, and organizations within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. This selection process and the execution process previously described has resulted in a nearly 80% transition rate, which is defined as a project moving into a new or existing program of record or residual prototypes utilized by the CCMDs and Joint Warfighter for immediate operational use. The final objective for the JCTD program is to maintain the United States’ technological superiority across the range of military operations while reducing the cost of operations, facilitating joint interoperability, and allowing for the rapid insertion of new capabilities.
