Abstract
The Rapid Cyber Acquisition (RCA) initiative provides new cyber capabilities in response to a continuously evolving threat environment. The delivery of capabilities to Combatant and Joint Force Commanders, in mission relevant timeframes (0-60 days), enhances the nation's ability to operate within the highly-dynamic cyberspace domain. The RCA initiative expedites cyber development and modifications of USAF cyber capabilities through the integration with and technical support to other Service and Government Agency activities to leverage select Air Force-developed technologies and/or operational capabilities. RCA develops material or non-material cyber solutions and conducts rapid prototyping, integration, and transition activities of cyber capabilities. Activities include but are not limited to development of software/hardware systems, integration and transition of lab-developed cyber capabilities, developmental testing, operational evaluation, manpower, studies, analysis, pilots, demonstrations, and risk reduction efforts for emerging technologies. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Rapid Cyber Acquisition capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605831F. The FY 2021 funding request was reduced by $0.198 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balance. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
