Science and Technology Support to Information Operations (IO)

Abstract

This portfolio will apply the Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO) business model of relatively low cost, short duration, high-impact, gap filling investments to complement DoD, the Department of State (DoS), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initiatives in the development of capabilities in the areas of Information Operations, Strategic Communication, and Public Diplomacy. Projects of particular interest include efforts to fill gaps in tools and capabilities that support the National Counterterrorism Strategy and the Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Abroad Framework by developing influence assessment capabilities, measures of effectiveness, social media analysis, and counter-narrative capabilities. Specific support to United States Combatant Commands (COCOM) needs will be coordinated through the Director for Information Operations in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (SO/LIC) and the Joint Staff.
