Conceptual Prototyping to Support DoD Modernization Needs Focus Area
Abstract
This focus area supports in-year identification and execution of innovative prototyping for cutting-edge land, sea, undersea, air, and space capabilities critical to the National Defense Strategy and modernization needs and objectives of the Department of Defense (DoD). This effort matures key component technologies and representative prototypes to accelerate development and adoption of cost-effective and interoperable solutions for defense challenges. Selected limited duration projects design, mature, and deliver prototypes to reduce the time from idea to demonstrated capability; mitigate risk in DoD programs; and help characterize potential concepts of operations. Conceptual prototyping activities seek to rapidly develop and demonstrate capabilities that can help maintain the U.S. technological edge. Development of prototypes involve partnerships with the Services, industry, and academia, and leverage technologies and emerging products developed by small, innovative business and non-traditional partners.
