Prototyping for Countering Dynamic Threats Technologies Focus Area

Abstract

This focus area enables experimentation and red teaming to evaluate emerging capabilities against dynamic threats. Projects enable the warfighter to identify technical and operational deficiencies; rapidly identify and characterize new threats; explore emerging and novel attack capabilities; and, improve warfighter readiness. Prototypes explore advanced capabilities to conduct dynamic attacks on military operations with artificial intelligence, autonomy, directed energy, electronic warfare, and kinetic systems. Specific activities include evaluating advanced attack or penetration systems; developing and replicating adversary techniques and procedures; using effective simulation and modeling; and, identifying mitigation strategies. These prototype capabilities will reduce technical and integration risk and provide joint cross-cutting value to the warfighter. A cross functional team, led by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, will review and select prototyping proposals from across the Department of Defense in the year of execution.
