Strategic Mobility

Abstract

The goal of the Strategic Mobility program is to analyze and perform risk reduction on technology solutions which can enable rapid deployment of brigade-- or even division-- sized forces globally in a matter of just days. Initially, the activity will focus on identifying high payoff logistics and deployment technologies, and understanding the deployment and sustainment architectures required to support these technologies. The program will examine increased automation in logistics and distribution operations, new platform technologies for sea-based transportation and prepositioning, and technologies which could enable aerial delivery of forces to the vicinity of an objective area. The Strategic Mobility program will then shift to a focused technology risk reduction activity designed to systematically address the principal risks for the highest payoff technology set. The technologies developed by the program could enable a rapid strategic response capability, with rapid deployment and sustainment of substantial ground combat forces, even to very remote or austere locations.
