Last year, her team received more than 200 proposals from the military services and selected 32 to execute as part of its initial sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking during an April 20 National Defense Industrial Association webinar, Shyu said the department is working to identify its second slate of RDER projects, noting that the process is open to industry as well as federally funded research and development centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shyu\u2019s office released its detailed budget request for defense-wide research and development programs April 26, offering more insight on early RDER efforts. Along with the defense-wide request, RDER projects are embedded within the services\u2019 funding plans. It\u2019s not immediately clear how much funding each service has received through RDER, but it\u2019s likely the overall number is significantly higher than what is laid out in the defense-wide request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documents don\u2019t say how many JWC experiments will occur in fiscal 2023. The Air Force\u2019s budget includes $64 million for four RDER projects tied to the JWC experimentation sprint. Three of the projects will mature sensing and electromagnetic spectrum prototypes, commercial space integration software and advanced satellite communication terminals. The fourth effort is classified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the remaining funding request, $2.5 million would fund one or more experimentation sprints in INDOPACOM. According to Army budget documents, the funding is linked to an effort the service proposed for RDER called Olympus, which would mature capabilities for Joint All Domain Operations, including advanced sensing, target identification and command and control. The service\u2019s budget request includes $86 million for the Olympus project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Olympus portfolio will initiate prototyping, integration and risk-reduction activities to facilitate integrated and interoperable capabilities that leverage layered [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance] and autonomy with advanced communication and architectures to enable AI-infused analytics and layered effects,\u201d the Army\u2019s documents state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The request also includes $10 million to establish a RDER coordination and execution cell. The cell will include planners embedded within the combatant commands to report on results and lessons learned and work with the military services to transition capabilities into programs of record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another $9 million would provide intelligence and end-to-end analysis support to ensure that RDER capabilities explored during experimentation sprints are informed by near-peer threats and are aligned with the Joint Warfighting Concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond fiscal 2023, RDER\u2019s proposed defense-wide funding profile shows a slow-but-steady increase, rising to $71 million in fiscal 2024, $75 million in fiscal 2025, $79 million in fiscal 2026 and $82 million in fiscal 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fiscal 2023 funding would support experimentation sprints across the military services to mature high-priority capabilities linked to the
