Emerging Capabilities Technology Development

Abstract

This Program Element was a new start in FY 2012 and reflects a transition from 0605799D8Z to 0603699D8Z in FY 2012. This funding develops emerging capabilities and advanced developmental prototypes in support of near and mid-term irregular warfare and stability operations. The framework is guided by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering (ASD(R&E)), the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense of Rapid Fielding (DASD RF), and the Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO) science and technology 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 the project timeline. During FY 2012 and FY 2013, RRTO continued to expand its maritime and irregular warfare portfolio as a complement to its existing maritime technology demonstrator and ground, and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) portfolios and in FY 2014 RRTO will continue these efforts and enhance its focus on developmental rapid prototyping. This program element has evolved from exclusive support of force transformation activities to the activities described above, which is more closely aligned with departmental goals.
