Rapid Capability Development and Maturation
Abstract
This project funds high-priority, threat-based projects with the intent to deliver an operationally effective capability in the near- and mid-terms. Efforts will include accelerated materiel development and prototyping based on anticipated and emerging threats and opportunities. Efforts include development, acquisition, assessment, maturation, and transition of prototype technologies to acquisition programs. Efforts include Directed Energy; Long Range Precision Fires; Air and Missile Defense; Cyber; Artificial Intelligence; Signals Intelligence (SIGINT); Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Counter UAS (C-UAS); Communications; Survivability; Robotics; Advanced Ground and Aviation Systems; and other high priority emerging threats and opportunities as designated by the RCCTO Board of Directors. Funds may also allow for acceleration of critical capabilities to counter urgent and emerging threats for transition to programs of record. Funding may also be used to acquire specialized expertise to execute an initiative. The Army RCCTO expedites residual combat materiel capabilities to the Warfighter to provide critical capability in support of the Army modernization strategy and transitions the capability to an acquisition program for production and sustainment when it is an enduring need. The RCCTO assesses Commercial-Off-The Shelf (COTS), Government Off-The- Shelf (GOTS), and Non-Developmental Item (NDI) (non-standard equipment) solutions for modification and/or integration to address changes in contested environments with materiel solutions for forces deployed globally. The RCCTO engages with industry to identify innovative solutions to high priority problem sets and funds quick turn analysis, modeling and protoyping efforts through this project to demonstrate cross-cutting military utility.
