JCTD Concept Development/Developmental and Operational Prototypes
Abstract
Continually funded effort. This funding allocation is to provide funding for the new start JCTDs. The JCTD program will select new projects as developmental and operational prototypes, in alignment with the co-developed mission focused areas which include, but are not limited to: time-sensitive targeting (TST), advanced electronic warfare (AEW), integrated fires (IF), and fully networked command, control and communications (FNC3). Senior representatives from each CCMD, Service, and Joint Staff will participate in the submission, initial review, and down-selection of JCTDs. Final selections will be reviewed by the Assistant Directors for the DOD Modernization Areas and USD(R&E) executive leadership before a final recommendation for Congressional approval is made. Selected projects will leverage networks within the global research and engineering enterprise to include government labs and integration facilities, depots, academia, as well as traditional and non-traditional technology providers. Prototypes will utilize best practices to satisfy joint and cross-cutting needs that directly address the modernization priorities and the CCMD's technology/capability gaps. The JCTD office will work with the Services to identify means to streamline prototype transition into the acquisition systems where appropriate.
