Conceptual Prototyping Focus Area
Abstract
This effort focuses on cost-effective, limited-duration activities to design, develop, and deliver prototypes of cutting-edge land, sea, undersea, air, and space systems. Conceptual prototyping activities seek to rapidly develop and demonstrate asymmetric capabilities that can help maintain the U.S. competitive advantage. Selected projects provide an affordable venue to innovate new capabilities and increase speed to market through conceptual prototyping. These prototypes will be delivered to Joint Service users to evaluate operational capabilities and inform requirements and technical feasibility of future acquisition programs. Potential venues for prototype assessment include the Stiletto Maritime Demonstration Program, Thunderstorm integration exercises, and multi-domain demonstration venues across the Department of Defense (DoD). Development of advanced prototypes will involve partnerships with the Services, industry, academia, and non-traditional DoD partners.
