Office of the Under Secretary of Defense - PowerPoint Presentation

1. Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Research & Engineering) P&S Prototyping Efforts, Needs, and Opportunities Overview Presented to: NDIA22 June 2020Mr. Timothy S. Dare, SESDeputy Director, Prototyping & Software

2. P&S P&E ImpactFocus on advancing technology and innovation for the services by delivering operational, leap-ahead Programs, Advanced Concepts, and Technologies to rapidly provide our Warfighters with overmatch capabilities aligned with the National Defense StrategyImplement leap-ahead prototypes through a disciplined approach that provides fair evaluation of inputs, with insight by stakeholders, to meet the greatest warfighter needs with available fundingIdentify Service, CCMD, JS, AD, Agency, Foreign partners, IndustryEvaluate proposals to reduce redundancy of prototyping effortsStructure prototype program for rapid deliveryDetermine co-funding to increase investment and partner buy-inEnsure solid transition plan to counter Valley-of-Death issuesYear of ExecutionNumber of Ongoing EffortsDTEP Funding ($M)Total Co-Funding ($M)2018124$315M$342M2019122$488M$621MYear of ExecutionAir Force*Army*Navy / USMC*SOCOM*Other Gov’t Agencies*201820% ($53M)22% ($58M)22% ($58M)30% ($79M)7% ($18M)201923% ($95M)22% ($91M)17% ($71M)27% ($112M)11% ($46M)* % Projects Transitioned

3. 2018SPECTREA hyperspectral imaging system with an 800 lb reduction compared with the current system. This technology will transition to the Army’s Program Management Office Sensors – Aerial Intelligence Program OfficeLink 16 Anti-JamThis project developed adaptive array processing algorithms and waveform enhancements. These technologies transitioned to multiple classified programs of record. Q3 20182019Solid Oxide Fuel CellA fuel cell for the Stalker UAS that increased the overall power output by 100W and the number of power cycles. This technology transitioned to MARSOC for immediate adoption. Q1 20192020TALONS GARCA towed-airborne lift of naval systems (TALON) with a small, unmanned vessel for significantly greater communications and sensor ranges. This technology transitioned to NAVSEA LCS Mission Modules Office (PMS 420).Q1 2020AHELThe Airborne High Energy Laser (AHEL) is a risk reduction effort that allows an aircraft to rapidly accelerate deployment of a high energy weapon system. This risk reduction effort directly informed PEO Fixed Wing. Q1Q4Q1Q4Q3 2019Q4 2019Q4 2019Q4 2020Q2 2020SADL SOPGMA weapon and platform agnostic bi-directional miniaturized radio to enhance lethality, precision, and mission effectiveness. This capability significantly enhances the strike capability of airborne SOF platforms. Q4108 Successful FY 19 Transitions42 Successful FY 20 Transitions to Date85 FY 18 TransitionsLCASDAn ultra-low cost, long-range unmanned aircraft to conduct strike and/or ISR missions; supports several follow-on projects to include Skyborg, Enigma and Lander, which will develop stores and fire control management for the aircraftQS-64ERA low-cost wing kit and munitions guidance package which will deliver maritime mines from a safe stand-off distance; QS64-ER conducted external release operational demonstration from a B-52 and transitioned capability to USN Program Manager, Ships (PMS-495)Prototyping Value to DoD

4. A Range of Prototyping EffortsMission Focused PrototypingEnd-to-end prototypes that support Joint Warfighting Concepts in key mission areasComplements traditional prototyping programsConceptual PrototypesExplores emerging technologies to quickly determine feasibility and military relevanceRapid, low-cost prototypesQuick, low cost prototype capabilities delivered directly to the warfighterInternational PrototypesOperational prototypes where US and partner nation share R&D funding, technology, and industry participation to transition leap-ahead capabilityA balanced portfolio of prototypes with various levels of size, risk, and innovationTypically TRL 4 to 6+

OSD special notice “DTEP Needs Statement” on beta.sam.govDTEP now Prototyping and Software (P&S)Focus on OSD priorities, near-peer competition, and operational prototype by 2028Initial entry is a succinct paragraph of just 100 words or lessDown select to ~30 ideas for follow-on technical presentation at Solutions Meeting Promising ideas may be selected for additional refinement, possibly leading to prototype development through one of DTEP (now P&S) accelerated processesPost Special Notice30 March12 May29 JuneSeptember100-wordResponsesdueDown select and invite briefingsSolutions Meeting:Companies present briefingsConcept refinement (only if rqd)Possible OutcomesWhite paperFull proposalDirect to contractingGlobal Needs Statement OverviewChallenge: How to unlock and reveal emerging novel capabilities across industrySolution: Agile special notice process lowers barrier to entry and encourages direct industry-government exchanges

6. Solutions should be capabilities under company Internal Research and Development (IRAD) and suitable for maturation through DoD prototyping funding, but not mature enough to be Commercial Off-the-Shelf products.
