SCO Operational Costs - MHA
Abstract
The Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) conducts analysis to identify and accelerate the development, demonstration, and transition of game-changing capabilities to shape and counter emerging threats and increase the lethality of the Joint Force in contested environments. In a partnership endeavor across the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Joint Staff, Combatant Commands (CCMDs), the Services, the Intelligence Community (IC), and other U.S. Government agencies, SCO combines capability innovation with new concepts for warfighting that leverage new technology areas, including autonomy, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. SCO conducts projects on accelerated timelines, in all warfighting domains, at any classification or access level. The Advanced Innovative Analysis and Concepts Program Element supports development, studies, analysis of integrated concepts and prototypes, analysis in support of ongoing efforts to shape and counter emerging threats, cross-Service and cross-Defense/Intelligence concepts, and red-teaming. Projects focus on proving component and subsystem maturity prior to integration in major systems, and may involve risk reduction initiatives. This Program Element also supports the development of concept proposals for assessment by the Technical and Transition Cross Functional Teams established in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2021 for full development under the Advanced Innovative Technologies Program Element. Due to the nature of these projects, specific applications and detailed plans are available at a higher classification level.
