Technology Maturation Initiatives
Abstract
This Project funds the Technology Maturation Initiative (TMI), which matures and integrates component technologies into early system and sub-system experimental prototypes for demonstration in relevant environments and tactical/operational scenarios. The focus is to improve technology transition to Programs of Record (PoR) supporting 3 categories of projects: (1) Super system projects that prototype, integrate, and demonstrate emerging technologies that fill requirements across traditional PEO/PoR boundaries. (2) Technology Product Prototyping projects that mature technologies from S&T BA3 that have demonstrated at TRL6, but are experimental prototypes with higher risk (but potentially greater impact) than the baseline approach currently taken by a PoR, (3) Emerging / Disruptive Technology Opportunity projects (from S&T, industry, or non-traditional sources) that require out-of-cycle funding to prototype and evaluate disruptive impact against PoR requirements (threshold or objective). This Initiative streamlines the development and insertion of mature technologies that support advanced ground systems; aviation systems; command, control, communication and reconnaissance systems and equipment; precision and hypersonic weapons; navigation and situational awareness systems; and Soldier equipment. It provides the Army an improved mechanism for incorporating innovative technologies and advanced capabilities in the early stages of acquisition program planning, and more closely aligns high-priority S&T products and Programs of Record modernization plans. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology and the Army Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Enterprise.
