Science and Technology / Advanced Capabilities (STAC)
Abstract
The STAC budget category identifies, develops, tests, matures, and transitions new technologies and Weapon System capabilities to close Navy and Army warfighting gaps. The STAC program executes internal development and liaises with the broader DoD Science and Technology (S&T) community to identify emerging technologies, and then develops component, subsystem, or other capabilities needed to improve affordability, manage obsolescence, and increase the CPS weapon system's capabilities against existing and emerging threats. The STAC program consists of three supporting elements: 1) Technology and advanced capability identification and development 2) Technology maturation including component level experimental testing (wind tunnel, ground, sled, and flight) to demonstrate capability 3) Technology evaluations to validate readiness levels for transition into the Weapon System STAC focuses on those technologies that improve affordability, manage obsolescence, and increase CPS WS's capabilities against the following program Top Level Requirement (TLR) categories: 1) Priority targets; 2) Emerging threat environments; 3) Flight effectiveness; 4) Accuracy; and 5) Command, Control and Communications (C3) interoperability. Details are available at a higher classification level.
