8 Thunderstorm Program Overview 20 November 2014 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Mr. Tom Goodall, Principal Investigator & Mr. Mike LoQuasto, Demonstration Director Applied Research Laboratory/Penn State University

9 Introduction Thunderstorm facilitates a collaborative working relationship between Government, academia, and industry. This promotes the identification and assessment of emerging and mature technologies with the primary goal of accelerating the delivery of technology discoveries to government partners. FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 2

10 Methodology & Venues Strategic Steering Guidance based on overarching objectives of the Assistance Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Emerging Capability and Prototyping) FY15 focus area is on Countering WMD, Unmanned Autonomous Systems, Countering Emerging Threats and Electromagnetic Spectrum Agility. Analytical Gaming Workshop Think Tank Forum for SME s to develop future Thunderstorm Concepts Creates a joint working group environment to share technologies and ideas Forum for analyzing new and emerging threats Tabletop Experiment (TTX) Scenarios are used to focus on process, procedures and potential capabilities SMEs attend from various DoD agencies and operational partners from across the government Capability gaps are selected and prioritized in order to be considered for technology demonstrations Technology Field Demonstrations Platform for pairing technologies with potential customers Minimal cost to vendor, attractive to startup companies with minimum financial backing Uses operational environment to assess prototype technology capabilities with operational partners being readily available for feedback FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 3

11 Thunderstorm Intent Current Guidance Focus on DOD s Ability to Deter, Predict, and Interdict Threats Deter - Influence target audiences through quickly understanding local environments and populations and leveraging key influence nodes Predict - Demonstrate the capability to predict threats using Big Data and other non traditional sources and the fusion/pairing of these sources Interdict Exploit sensor capabilities to develop actionable intelligence and cue appropriate response actions Deter/Predict Detect Thunderstorm Application Spectrum Interdict Focus on Emerging/Asymmetrical Threats and Environments to enhance Warfighting Architectures and Interagency Collaboration Best match Key Operational/Supporting Partnerships, Venues and Technologies within Thunderstorm based on Strategic Intent and the Operational Plans. FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 4

12 Benefits the Operational Partners Collaboration for addressing operational environment challenges Opportunity to brainstorm and war-game in a controlled setting Venue to observe new and emerging technologies in the AOR Opportunity to pair technologies for improving effectiveness FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 5

13 Benefits the Demonstrators Realistic technology deployment Ability to demonstrate low TRL technologies End user interaction Constructive feedback Insight to operational environment challenges Opportunity to interact and collaborate with other demonstration technologies FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 6
