(u)atrt Enterprise RAPID Development

Rapid Development and Deployment (RDD) efforts directly support the Department of the Navy Rapid Capabilities Office (DONRCO) mission of developing and scaling rapid near-term capability solutions from mature technologies. To the furthest extent available, the DONRCO leverages commercially available solutions with proven high Technical Readiness Levels (TRLs) to accelerate development and fielding of critical capabilities to our warfighters. Project funding continues support of the DONRCO's Budget Execution-year Technology Selection (BETS) process in the identification and selection of capability solutions and scaling decisions, which are vetted and approved by Senior Navy Leadership on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) and other senior joint stakeholders to include Senior Fleet and Combatant Commanders. Following Prototyping BETS approval, capability development occurs in coordination with Fleet users to ensure operational relevancy. After rapid prototyping design, development, and testing, a Scaling BET provides the approval and funding to proceed to the scaling phase of production, which is executed in coordination with the Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAEs) and Direct Report Program Managers (DRPMs) who assume the capabilities as they transition to Programs of Record (PoR). The BETS process enables the DONRCO to rapidly deliver agile solutions to the Fleet's urgent operational gaps, enabling the warfighter with rapid capabilities to respond to emerging threats. Post BETS Board decisions, the Navy's investment plans are memorialized through SECNAV memorandum to all involved stakeholders and can be made available upon request for review.

Automated Test and ReTest (ATRT) Enterprise Rapid Capability develops, integrates, and deploys novel capabilities aggregated from mature technologies in support of Distributed Maritime Operations. ATRT technologies provide essential development, assessment, and operational analysis capabilities to streamline testing and certification for both single systems and systems of systems capabilities in order to reduce development time for new capabilities from years to weeks. Further, ATRT leverages support to refactoring, development, and assessment of Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) aids with other applications to deliver warfighting capability. The integration of legacy code and systems across the Naval warfighting portfolio aims to achieve an open integration and interoperability environment. These capabilities are enabled through the use of virtualized systems of systems, automated test and analysis, automated certification, rapid interface development, and field with data collection and edge analytics. These technologies are at the heart of the Navy's rapid capability approach, which combines digital engineering tools with evolutionary approaches to requirements generation, operational testing, and deployment. Project funding supports application of Automated Test and Analysis (ATA) technologies to software-intensive acquisition programs through continued development and commercialization of ATRT Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) technologies across the Navy enterprise. These SBIR derived technologies enable the Navy enterprise to make rapid capability improvements through software updates while maintaining a continuous Authority to Operate (ATO) on a common digital warfighting platform, and in enterprise sandbox technologies.
