Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve (RDER) Experiment Proposal Shaping, Evaluation, and Process and Program Management
Abstract
RDER will execute threat informed system-of-systems experiments to fully address Joint capability gaps and serve as an integrating effort for DoD and Service prototyping capabilities. Funding provided for proposal shaping, evaluation, planning, coordination, alignment, and execution of RDER experimentation series into Joint large-scale exercises. Activities included monitoring new technologies through the innovation stakeholder community (Service labs, industry, academia, and federally funded research and development centers) in order to identify those “best of breed” prototyped capabilities to be integrated in experiments and aligned to the Defense Planning Scenarios. The integration of multiple capabilities will assess their operational utility under the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC). Execution will consist of a series of experimentation that is conducted with existing Service and joint exercise programs. In FY 2022, RDER prepared and planned for those experiments selected for funding in FY 2023. It executed a selection and recommendation process in two call cycles identified as RDER 24-1 and 24-2. A Deputy’s Management Action Group (DMAG) decision was made for 24-1 and the 24-2 cycle was completed in October 2022.
