Advanced Innovative Technologies
Abstract
The Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) was created to identify, analyze, and accelerate capabilities to counter strategic adversaries and improve the United States posture for engaging future threats. A distributed enterprise amongst Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD), Combatant Commands (COCOMs), and the Intelligence Community (IC), SCO uniquely blends technology and concepts of operations to develop a full spectrum of innovative capabilities. Those meriting acceleration are worked as joint projects with the Services to speed transition time for rapid fielding. SCO breaks up objectives from Commanders' intent into specific projects inside a strategic plan. As part of its mission, SCO examines alternative strategies, such as: (1) explores multi-domain solutions (including cross-DoD/IC capabilities); (2) builds partnerships across national security divides; (3) analyzes cost effectiveness, risk, and performance; (4) develops prototypes to accelerate capabilities; and (5) increases the operational options available to senior leadership. Under this new start program, SCO will develop new strategic capabilities that provides options for the Department of Defense’s (DoD) operational priorities. New strategic capabilities will be composed of existing and advanced technologies and systems, with special emphasis on innovative and architecture-level concepts. The PE supports development, studies, analysis, and demonstration of integrated concepts and prototypes, analysis in support of ongoing efforts to shape and counter emerging threats, cross-Service and cross-Defense/Intelligence concepts, and red-teaming. Projects will focus on proving component and subsystem maturity prior to integration in major systems and may involve risk reduction initiatives. Specific applications and plans are available at a higher classification level.
