Rapid Reaction Fund
Abstract
The Quick Reaction Special Projects Program (QRSP) (Program Element 0603826D8Z) supports six separate projects that provide rapid funding to expedite the development and transition of new technologies or initiatives that support the warfighter. The Rapid Reaction Fund (RRF) is fully executed through the Combating Terrorism Technology Task Force (CTTTF), which was re-designated as the Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO). The CTTTF was stood up to provide rapid response to enhance operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and other theaters in support of Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO); and, to accelerate the transition of high-potential science and technology projects into operationally useful products in the execution years. CTTTF/RRTO leverages the Department of Defense (DoD) science and technology base and those of the other Federal Departments; stimulates interagency coordination and cooperation; accelerates the fielding of capabilities and concepts to counter emerging threats; and, provides feedback to the Science & Technology (S&T) community to guide long term developmental strategies. RRTO anticipates adversaries' exploitation of technology, including available and advanced commercial capabilities. In prior years RRTO has explored methods and approaches of persistent surveillance stimulation for counterinsurgency; developed alternate power sources for sensors and systems; expanded human, social and cultural knowledge, increased small unit situational awareness, advanced the interface between law enforcement and military operations, developed biometrics and forensics capabilities, supported denied area operations, strategic multi-layer assessment and established an Open Business Cell that is facilitating better interactions with small innovative companies that do not normally do business with the DoD. In FY 2011 and FY 2012, RRTO will continue to explore new and emerging capabilities to support Irregular Warfare operations while working to support Under Secretary of Defense (Advanced Technology & Logistics) (USD (AT&L)) and Director, Defense Research & Engineering (DDR&E) goals. With final project selection occurring during the execution year, potential areas for FY 2011 and FY 2012 Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO) projects include: Forward Operating Base (FOB) protection, persistent surveillance, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) architecture, interface of law enforcement and military operations, biometrics and forensics, autonomous operations, cyber security, explore new and emerging cell phone technologies, support border patrol initiatives, counter proliferation initiatives, capabilities to exploit denied areas, strategic communications and multi-layer assessments and nontraditional approaches to leverage innovative businesses. The average length of a Rapid Reaction Technology Office project falls within a 6-12 month range in order to more effectively aid the Warfighter.
