- Description
- Threat Agnostic Survivability RFI As threat technologies evolve and become more diverse, the U.S. Army and its Science and Technology (S&T) community have agreed to pursue a Threat Agnostic approach to Aircraft Survivability. Threat Agnostic is defined herein as detection and defeat of all threats known and unknown. The term specifies the capability achieved (survivable against any and all threats), not the solution employed (destruction of any and all threats). Therefore, a threat agnostic solution may incorporate a range of coordinated proactive and adaptive technologies to address the complex threat environment. It includes any advances in hardware, software and architectures that provide effectiveness without prior knowledge of broad classes of threats and their respective characteristics. This concept can be applied to both passive and active technologies. It may include signature management, mission and route planning, passive/active threat warning, infrared and radiofrequency countermeasures, expendable systems and advanced protection. The Army has recently stood up a Threat Agnostic Tiger Team (TATT) that will be canvasing the S&T community for technologies that enable threat agnostic capabilities for survivability, and establishing an investment strategy for these technologies to be inserted into Army aircraft programs of record or new start programs within the next 10 years. Please refer to the attachment for instructions regarding submission/questions.
