SUPPORTING THE FUTURE FORCE
academic and industry partners. Some of the key projects include digital radar technology, missile interceptor compo- nents, air defense gun technology and integrated fire control. We collaborate with industry by leveraging traditional contracting methods, Small Business Innovation Research initiatives, cooper- ative research and development agreements and a number of different collaborative consor- tiums, including the Defense Ordnance Technology Consor- tium and the Aviation and Missile Technology Consortium.
With academia, we have teamed with Carnegie Mellon Univer- sity to
develop advanced
updates, including program executive office and program manager transition agreement partnerships.
algorithms that can be applied to air defense, and the Univer- sity of Oklahoma to work on advanced radar hardware. CCDC ARL has cooperative agreements and grants with the University of Oklahoma and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to develop algorithms and tech- niques, as well as digital array operation. ARL has also established a cooperative agreement with Penn State University to develop advanced fiber lasers, and the CCDC Data and Analysis Center has a biannual agreement with the University of Alabama Indus- trial and Engineering Management Department.
Te CCDC enterprise is closely integrated and synchronized with the Air and Missile Defense Cross-Functional Team, which main- tains a prioritized list of air and missile defense S&T projects. We have aligned our S&T portfolio 100 percent with the Air and Missile Defense Cross-Functional Team priorities, and we work closely with them to support the air and missile defense modern- ization priority.
CCDC supports the Air and Missile Defense Cross-Functional Team by providing research, development and engineering exper- tise to demonstrate near-, mid- and far-term technology. CCDC engineers who work with the cross-functional team keep lead- ership informed about their activities, and coordinate with representatives from the other centers. Tese representatives provide periodic cross-functional team and CCDC execution reviews, and they meet regularly for road mapping and status
A critical part of the Army’s strategy involves moving away from stovepiped capabilities that are not interconnected and cannot communicate with each other.
Te representatives also reach back to their respective centers for information to support the cross-functional team. For example, when the cross-functional team requested a cost-benefit anal- ysis of air and missile defense technology, a CCDC Data and Analysis Center represen- tative pooled the expertise of a group of analysts who quickly conducted risk and performance analyses to support the project.
Te CCDC Data and Analysis Center also provides feedback on new equipment training, developmental testing, opera- tional testing and flight tests as they relate to human-systems integration, including how to increase Soldier system perfor- mance and reduce physical and mental workload.
CONCLUSION Together, CCDC and our partners are developing air and defense capabilities for a maneuverable, multimission force. Tese capa- bilities will support multidomain operations by creating not only a tiered, layered defense, but also domes of protection to keep Soldiers—on the ground and in the air—safe. Tese domes will provide the future force with innovative technologies and capa- bilities that will give Soldiers and our allies a decisive edge.
