Advanced Technology Development
Abstract
This project provides for rapid prototyping, Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs) and Joint Capability Technology Demonstrations. It is a means for demonstrating and evaluating the utility of emerging/advanced technologies in operationally relevant environments with Special Operations Forces (SOF) users. This project integrates disruptive solutions and emerging technologies and then presents them in technology demonstrations, in conjunction with joint experiments and other assessment events. Evaluation results often facilitate the initiation of new programs and the insertion of appropriate technologies to acquisition programs. This program element leverages key stakeholder relationships with the Department of Defense and government technology developers to address unique, joint special mission or area-specific needs for which a few rapid prototypes must be developed on a responsive basis, or of sufficient time sensitivity to accelerate prototyping efforts of a normal acquisition program in any phase.
