Enabling Investments (ATD)
Abstract
The Enabling Investments Advanced Technology Development (ATD) Project focuses on early and continued involvement of the warfighter in the technology development process and has implemented a user community engagement process to align science and technology (S&T) activities with operational needs and ensure functional design. This process begins with the identification of an innovative technology concept, continues through the assessment of the prototype, and ends at the operational and utility demonstrations to enhance transition to an advanced developer. Enabling efforts in this area support dedicated infrastructure capabilities, demonstrations, and overarching development support functions as portfolio enablers responding to emerging threats. Project EN3 aligns revised CB incident preparedness and response priorities. In FY 2025, efforts supporting existing CB incident preparedness and response priorities transition to Project EN2 to continue resourcing for this portfolio. Thrust Areas included in this Project are: (1) Biological Warfare Defense Prophylaxis (2) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) (3) Technology Concepts (4) User Assessment (5) Battlefield Readiness (6) Diagnostic Building Blocks (7) Emerging Threats (8) Medical Countermeasures Initiative
