FUTURE CONCEPTS, TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT, AND ROADMAPPING
Abstract
This activity supports the planning and integration of technology development efforts across the entire PE. In conjunction with the Concepts Based Capabilities System and the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, unique and novel concepts for advanced warfighting are developed and validated. Effectiveness analyses are conducted to identify the synergistic effects that can be achieved through the integration of emerging technology with innovative tactics, doctrine, and techniques. Technology assessments are conducted to determine the supporting technologies that have the highest impact across the warfare areas, and warrant further investment within this PE. Technology Roadmapping is conducted to help identify opportunities to leverage technology development within the Department of the Navy and the Department of Defense, as well as, with the commercial sector and university communities. The resultant technology investment strategy is developed and used to guide out-year technology development efforts. The increase in Funding from FY2011 to FY2012 is due to the initiation of two new assessments: A Cargo Unmanned Aerial study focused on developmental technologies for expeditionary operations to include ground autonomous capabilities and an assessment of Unmanned Ground Systems Affordability, Experimentation and Rapid Prototyping Investments and roadmapping.
