Army Applied Innovation
Abstract
This project funds the Applied Research portion of the Army Innovation Plan, the Army's investment strategy to rapidly accelerate innovative solutions to challenging Warfighter problems. This project will provide the Army with the most advanced and cutting-edge solutions, and the ability to adapt and integrate multi-disciplinary innovative technologies. This project accelerates ideation & system-level integration at the initial phase of scientific concepts and technology development, to generate a holistic entry into the acquisition pipeline at the most appropriate milestone. This effort seeks to research, evaluate, and validate these technologies in support of cross-domain operations and accelerating solutions that will meet Army Priorities and provide a pathway for entry into the acquisition process. This project is coordinated with Program Element 0603025A (Army Agile Innovation and Demonstration), Project DA3 (Army Advanced Innovation). Army Senior Leadership approves Army innovation projects during the budget year and year of execution based on priority, opportunity, and return on investment for the American taxpayer - ensuring that innovations have a high potential for filling capability gaps and transitioning. 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 effort is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command. Work in this Project supports any need for acceleration of a solution to address Army Priorities.
