Transformational Technology Development
Abstract
Continually funded effort. This funding allocation will initiate new and continue existing Transformational Technology Development efforts. The Transformational Technology Development program will select new projects, in alignment with mission focused areas which include, but are not limited to: Intelligent Planning and Wargaming, Battlespace Awareness, and other multi-domain operations capabilities. Investments focus on technology development efforts including, but are not limited to technologies to enhance survivability, operability and performance of personnel, sensors, and structures in a threat environment through space technology demonstrations for cislunar space situational awareness, autonomy demonstrations, and space logistics. These technologies advance autonomy in space to ensure that space services are available to the joint warfighter, countering adversary threats by getting inside adversary Observe, Orient, Decide, Act (OODA) loops, operating satellites in novel distant regimes, and performing complex robotic tasks on orbit. This investment is overseen by senior representatives from Air and Space Forces who participate in the submission, initial review, and down-selection of Transformational Technology Development proposed efforts. Final selections will be reviewed by the Air Force Deputy Assistant Secretary for Science, Technology, and Engineering before a final recommendation for Congressional approval is made.
