Stiletto Maritime Demonstration Program
Abstract
Stiletto is a technology demonstration and assessment asset developed to examine and explore emerging technologies and prototypes via a series of maritime technology demonstrations and other activities conducted by the Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO) within the office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Emerging Capability & Prototyping (DASD(EC&P)). Stiletto is an 88-foot boat that serves as a maritime demonstration platform to assist in the assessment and development of prototypes and the rapid transition of emerging technologies across the range of military operations to higher technology readiness levels. Stiletto is an experimental, all carbon fiber craft. It was purposefully designed to rapidly acquire, integrate and employ new capabilities to explore the military utility and reduce the risk of emerging technologies and concepts of operation for special and expeditionary forces, interagency users and international partners. The Stiletto Maritime Demonstration Program offers a streamlined experimentation and demonstration process that encourages system developers to engage directly with the warfighter in the maritime environment to rapidly adapt technologies around operational needs. The Stiletto vessel is home-ported in Norfolk, Virginia.
