Emerging Capabilities Technology Development
Abstract
This Program Element is a new start in FY 2012 and reflects a transition from 0605799D8Z to 0603699D8Z in FY 2012. This funding develops emerging capabilities in support of near and mid-term irregular warfare needs guided by the framework Secretary of Defense (SECDEF), under Secretary of Defense (USD) Acquisition Technology and Logistics (AT&L), Assistant Secretary of Defense (ASD) Research and Engineering (R&E), of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) Rapid Fielding (RF) and Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO) objectives and focus areas. With an emphasis on interagency and Service partnerships, initiatives are developed to pursue risk-reducing prototypes and demonstrations in order to produce capability options that anticipate and inform formal joint and interagency requirements and acquisition processes. Individual projects generally span a two to three year period and are demonstrated and fielded in spirals within that project timeline. In addition, during FY 2012 and FY 2013 the office will expand a maritime portfolio focused on irregular warfare capabilities in that domain as a complement to the existing maritime technology demonstrator and ground and Inteligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) portfolios. This Program Element has evolved from exclusive support of force transformation activities to the activities described above, which are more closely aligned with departmental goals.
