Enable Rapid Capability Delivery

Abstract

Enable Rapid Capability Delivery: Understanding the threat drives Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA'S) deliberate, structured, and proactive approach to identify and validate urgent or emergent capability gaps and requirements. DTRA's continuous embedded presence with deployed U.S. Joint Forces enables early identification and understanding of Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) and Counter-Improvised Threat (C-IT) gaps, vulnerabilities, and risks and the timely validation, resourcing, development, and delivery of C-IED and C-IT material and non-material solutions. DTRA's technical integrators embedded with deployed forces further enables rapid adjustments to solutions as the threat’s adaptation evolves. DTRA provides DoD up to an 18-month “head start” on addressing critical warfighter gaps, and enables DoD to deliver the most technologically advanced response to improvised threats. These capabilities are developed from previous Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization (JIDO) experience and in concert with other government agencies, National Labs, Academia, Private Industry, and International Partners. This project employs Technology Outreach as well as development of modeling-and-simulation and analysis support tools to identify and validate urgent and emergent capability requirements and associated gaps. It provides rapid acquisition and delivery of C-IED and C-IT solutions to address these requirements and gaps.
