6. It’s all about… Innovation !
"No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris."  - Orville Wright.
"Airplanes are interesting toys but of no military value." - Marshal Ferdinand Foch [Professor of Strategy, Ecole Superieure de Guerre]
(circa 1911) He was Supreme Commander of Allied forces, 1918
"Airplanes suffers from so many technical faults that it is only a matter of time before any reasonable man realizes that they are useless!" - Scientific American (1910)
"Even if a submarine should work by a miracle, it will never be used. No country in this world would ever use such a vicious and petty form of warfare!" - William Henderson, British Admiral (1914)
"Radio is just a fashion contrivance that will soon die out. It is obvious that there never will be invented a proper receiver!" - Thomas Edison
“Many innovations require a lengthy period of many years from the time when they become available to the time when they are widely adopted. Therefore, a common problem for many individuals and organizations is how to speed up the rates of diffusion of an innovation.”
—Everett M. Rogers, Diffusion of Innovations

8. Challenge of Jointness
"The ability of the armed services – the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard – to work together is increasing. It has to increase. Jointness has to become the rule and not an occasional luxury.” Secretary of Defense Speech at the Association of the U.S. Army Annual Meeting, Phoenix, Oct. 27, 2004
“The rapidly changing international environment and the global war on terrorism require that we create joint capabilities more quickly.” General Myers, CJCS
“Finally, I will add that we are encouraged by recent actions taken by DOD to initiate a joint capability technology demonstration business process as it is intended to meet joint and coalition forces needs and promotes many of the good practices we outlined above. To be successful, this process must have the authority and clout to overcome traditional barriers and the tools necessary to drive a knowledge-based, evolutionary acquisition approach.” Testimony before the HASC Subcommittee on Tactical Air & Land Forces by Michael Sullivan, Acting Director, Acquisition and Sourcing Management (March 2005)

9.    What are Joint Capabilities? AS&C Program Perspective
Multi-Service Core Capabilities
Common denominator Military forces
provided worldwide as self-
integrated, self-sustaining echelons
by the Services and their Components.
(GPS, Movement Tracking System)
Joint Enabling Capabilities
Additional capabilities required by
warfighters to exercise joint planning, execution,
Command & Control, and to enable core military
elements to function effectively as a
coherent joint / Coalition force.
(Network Centric Operations, Common Op Picture)  
Unique Regional / Specified Mission Requirements
Capabilities beyond common core military capabilities required by warfighters to effectively function in operational environments associated with assigned regional or specified missions.
(Foliage Penetrating Radar, Language Translators) 
“Joint is an inter-Service reliance acting together as one - not a patchwork of deconflicted Service operations.”
(General Tommy Franks, excerpts from American Soldier)

10. Resource Perspective: Core Military Capabilities and Joint Enablers
Characterization of CoCom Needs:
Core Service-specific capabilities (~80%?)
Joint / Coalition military capabilities (~20%?)
Nature of CoCom Joint Needs:
Interactive, Multi-Service core military capabilities
Joint / Coalition enabling capabilities
Unique Regional/Specified mission needs

11. ACTD Projects Positioned between S&T & Acquisition
Filling the Gap between S&T and Acquisition for the CoCom Customer
Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations
“Try before you buy”
S&T
Acquisition
&
Logistics
ACTDs
are a
Transition
Tool
76% of all ACTDs transition at least one product into a warfighting capability
“The 80% Solution”
Transition programs are not acquisition programs, and should not be science projects

12. The ACTD Program is Still in Transition
The ACTD program is 11 years old ….
144 Programs Started to Date
(Products from 54 deployed to OIF)
LOTS of Successes …
So why change it???

13. The World is Changing and… ‘Old’ Problems Persist
We are a Nation at War… Multiple Tech Push Activities On Going
CTTTF, REF, IED Task Force
Relatively Small, Rapid and Lacking Transition Planning
Joint and Coalition Capabilities are Still Orphans
Requirements & IPL Process Tends to ‘Homogenize’ COCOM Needs
Now-Year Funding Disrupts Existing Service Programs… dis-incentivizes ‘partnerships’

14. The ACTD Business Model needs to Change
CoCom
Current Process does not create a positive incentive to participate in Joint, Coalition, or Transformational technologies
Most CoCom customers have no RDT&E resources (Exception: SOCOM, JFCOM, and TRANSCOM in FY-06)

15. – NEW – Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD)
• Improves ACTD process/replaces ACTDs over next 3 years (Oversight--not Program Management) • Designed to speed transformational, joint and coalition capabilities • Works with combatant commands to identify solutions emerging/validated needs • Partners with services/agencies to push technology solutions
• Final demonstration phase reached in two years for most JCTDs
• 80% of JCTDs will transition at least 50% of their products • Majority of JCTD start up and transition costs centrally funded, vice “pass the hat”
Joint
Transformational
Coalition
The SPARTAN ACTD demonstrates a multi-mission unmanned surface vessel (USV) capability that will can transform the way our forces provide ship/harbor security.
U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force are working with UK on the Network Centric Collaborative Targeting ACTD to horizontally integrate intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms for target identification and geolocation.

“We are encouraged by recent actions taken by DOD to initiate a Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration business process as it is intended to meet joint and coalition forces needs we have outlined.” GAO--Michael Sullivan, Director Acquisition & Source Mgt, HASC sub-committee on Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee, 9 March

22. Weapon Datalink Network
Problem
-- Weapon connectivity to ISR, C2 and Strike A/C needed for improved weapon precision, moving target engagement, responsiveness to TSTs, weapon tracking, weapon BIA and abort on command
Objectives
-- Define requirements for network weapon integration
-- Demonstrate network that provides weapon status, re-targeting, target updates, BIA
Technologies
-- AFRL ATD Weapon Data Link Transceiver
-- Miniaturized network transceiver suitable for captive flight testing
-- Network weapons message set
-- Standardized messages (uses, meanings, time slots) for C2, shooters, ISR, TACPs
-- Link 16 and/or UHF networks
Residuals
-- Requirements for C2 networks, initial CONOPS, Interface Control Document (ICD) defining network weapon messages
-- Weapon JTRS compliance definition
-- Pod for weapon/network integration testing
Comments
-- ICD invaluable for weapon datalink network-centric interoperability
-- Shortens F2T2EA kill chain for TSTs
-- Enhances weapon precision
Participants
-- ACC, AFMC (AFRL/MN & IF, Air Armament Center & Electronic Systems Center)
-- Navy (SPAWAR & NAVAIR)
-- DARPA
Schedule:
-- FY05/06 ACTD - FY07 Transition

23. Network-Centric Collaborative
Targeting (NCCT)
FY 2001
Problem This Solves: Lack of PGM quality targeting information on mobile / relocatable time critical targets to support rapid engagement.
Solution: Horizontally integrate ISR platforms in a network centric environment to allow machine-to-machine collaboration on target identification and geolocation. Airborne SIGINT with MTI.
Participants: USCENTCOM, USAF, USA, USN, NRO
Schedule:
FY01-2Q04: Incremental phased development & assessment simulation & live-fly all platforms integrated on network
3Q04-05: Residuals and ‘one year earlier than planned’ transition
Status: All participants up on classified network integrating Systems Integration Labs (SILs). Running actual software on systems. Interim MUA completed at JEFX04 Summer 2004.
Army working GUARDRAIL participation for future inclusion into the net.

24. Joint Capability Technology Demonstrations (JCTDs)
A coherent approach that provides a means for demonstrated new joint and coalition capabilities to transition without traditional barriers (a “cradle to grave”/initial sustain model).
Developed to address concerns of CoCom customers, USD (AT&L) and Comptroller, GAO, DSB, & Congressional Staff.
FY-2006 JCTD Business Model established using only DUSD (AS&C) resources.
Introduce a new generation of demonstration processes… faster start, reduced risk, enabling Service partnerships and enhancing transition.
Initiated in FY06, JCTDs will be a phased replacement for ACTDs over 3-5 years
