Quick Reaction Fund
Abstract
The Quick Reaction Special Projects (QSRP) Program supports five separate projects that provide rapid funding to expedite development and transition of new technologies to the warfighter. The QSRP Program provides the flexibility to respond to emergent DoD issues and addresses technology surprises and needs that may arise outside the two year budget cycle. The Quick Reaction Fund (QRF) Program provides the Services, Components, Combatant Commands (COCOMs), and force providers opportunities to capitalize on technologies that are at a relatively high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and to rapidly field-test promising new operational prototypes that can have immediate impact on military operations. QRF initiatives are limited to those that will deliver a military operational prototype application within twelve months of being funded. The QRF Program also focuses on projects that have the potential to address conventional, disruptive, catastrophic, and irregular threats. More specifically, initiatives that address the following interest areas: Anti-Access and Area Denial; Base Protection; Electromagnetic Bandwidth and Spectrum Enhancement; Persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR); Newly Emerging National Threats; Directed Energy Capabilities; Low-Cost Precision Engagement Capabilities; Operational Field Demonstrations; Unmanned and Robotics Systems; Over the Horizon-Radar Technologies; and Counter-Electronic Warfare Technologies. In FY 2013 and FY 2014, the QRF Program will continue to identify and fund new projects that respond to critical operational needs and new technology opportunities. Current and future efforts that show significant effectiveness can be leveraged by additional investments in order to accelerate transition to operational forces.
