The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2021 book requested $36.5M for FY2021; the PB2023 book reported $28.0M as actual total obligation authority — $8.52M below the request. 28.0 − 36.5 = -8.5 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission — Advanced Innovative Analysis and Concepts

This program supports the Department's initiatives to Deter Aggression and Prevail in Conflict, Defend the Homeland, Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage, and Build a Resilient Joint Force and Defense Ecosystem. The Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) conducts analysis to identify and accelerate the development, demonstration, and transition of operationally impactful 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, the 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 supports development, study, and 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 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 (NDAA) for FY 2020 for 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.

Mission — Advanced Innovative Analysis and Concepts

The Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) conducts analysis in support of ongoing efforts to shape and counter emerging threats, with special emphasis on: innovative and architecture-level concepts, cross-Service and cross-Defense/Intelligence concepts, red-teaming, and on a case-by-case basis, research and development projects to demonstrate new concepts. SCO identifies, analyzes, and accelerates the development, demonstration, and transition of selected capabilities to shape and counter emerging threats, and to improve U.S. security posture. 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 concepts of operation to develop novel, high-leverage approaches to address pressing national security challenges. SCO conducts projects on accelerated timelines, at any classification or access level. The Advanced Innovative Analysis and Concepts program supports development, study, and 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.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)

Innovative Analysis and Concept Generation

The Strategic Capabilities Office conducts analysis, studies, demonstrations of integrated concepts and prototypes, component and subsystem maturation, and risk-reduction demonstrations in support of ongoing efforts to shape and counter emerging threats, and develops project proposals for prototyping under the Advanced Innovative Technologies program. Due to the nature of these projects, specific applications and detailed plans are available at a higher classification level.

Formulation and Risk Reduction

Subsequent to review and recommendation of project concepts by the Technical and Transition Cross Functional Teams, the Strategic Capabilities Office performs engineering trade studies and conducts component tests to prepare selected projects to be ready to enter into full prototype development under the Advanced Innovative Technologies program. Activities, such as proving component and subsystem maturity prior to integration in major systems, are intended to finalize key requirements to reduce technical risk during prototype development. Due to the nature of these projects, specific applications and detailed plans are available at a higher classification level.

Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)

This project includes estimates of funds required for SBIR/STTR based upon planned extramural research and development spending. These funds are transferred to the SBIR/STTR programs in the year of execution.

Awards

No awards are linked to this program element at high confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.

Lobbying Mentions

No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.

Oversight

Department-level designation (not specific to this program)

GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Advanced Innovative Analysis and Concepts — no program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
