Homeland Defense Capability Development Initiatives
Abstract
The Homeland Defense Capability Development Initiatives project uniquely engages with the Services, Combatant Commands, and our federal partners on critical S&T initiatives to both develop emerging unmanned systems technology and countering small unmanned system threats to our military forces and installations across all domains. Work in this project explores and identifies critical technology needs across the all domains, and supports development of synergistic enabling platforms and weapons systems S&T strategies to include unmanned and counter small unmanned systems technologies, munitions, power and energy, advanced materials, position, navigation and timing and quantum science, biotechnology, future generation wireless technology, and their applications to future force projection and protection capabilities as identified in the National Defense Strategy. Key technology applications complement the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering’s critical technology areas: Integrated Network System-of-Systems; Directed Energy; Integrated Sensing and Cyber; Trusted Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy; Human Machine Interfaces; Advanced Materials; Biotechnology; Quantum Science; and Future Generation Wireless Technology.
