Abstract

The Homeland Defense Capability Development Initiatives project uniquely engages with the Services, Combatant Commands, and our federal partners on critical S&T initiatives to both develop emerging unmanned systems technology and countering small unmanned system threats to our military forces and installations across all domains. Work in this project explores and identifies critical technology needs across the domains of Air, Land, Sea and Space, and enables development of synergistic platforms and weapons systems S&T strategies to include unmanned and counter small unmanned systems technologies, directed energy, munitions, power and energy, and their applications to future force projection and protection capabilities as identified in the National Defense Strategy. Key technology applications complement the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering’s (OUSD(R&E)) modernization priorities: Fully Networked Command, Control, and Communications; Directed Energy; Cyber; Autonomy; and Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence.
