Enable Rapid Capability Delivery

Abstract

This project harnesses an in-depth understanding of the threat, leading to identification and validation of urgent or emergent counter-threat requirements and Combatant Command capability gaps. In turn, DTRA rapidly provides Counter-Improvised Explosive Device/Counter-small Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-IED/C-sUAS) and counter improvised threat (C-IT) solutions to prevent or mitigate battlefield operational surprise. DTRA's continuous embedded presence with deployed US Joint Forces and coordination with Service components enables full transparency of investment activities and provides for the early identification and understanding of C-IED and C-IT risks and vulnerabilities which enable the timely validation, development, and delivery of counter-threat material and non-material solutions. DTRA delivers counter-threat materiel solutions in support of US Joint Forces, effectively addressing changes to threat tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) affecting deployed forces. Capability incorporates an embedded tactical presence to understand a continuously evolving threat environment as well as complete visibility of the current DoD counter-threat portfolio to enable rapid response to warfighter vulnerabilities and to enhance force protection and maneuverability. DTRA responds to the following improvised threats: Anti-Armor IED (AAIED), Booby Trapped Structures (BTS), Buried IED, Home-Made Explosives (HME), Personnel-Borne IED (PBIED), Radio Controlled IED (RCIED), improvised threats within tunnels, Vehicle-Attached IED (VAIED), Vehicle-Borne IED (VBIED), Water-Borne IED (WBIED), C-sUAS and emerging threats that are identified by the forward deployed warfighter and technology outreach team.
