The Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) serves to expedite critical capabilities to the field to meet Combatant Commanders needs. The Office enables the Army to experiment, evolve and deliver technologies in real-time to address both urgent and emerging threats while supporting acquisition reform efforts. RCCTO reports to a Board of Directors led by the Secretary of the Army, and including the Chief of Staff of the Army, Under Secretary of the Army, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, Army Acquisition Executive, and the Commander of Army Futures Command. The Office executes rapid prototyping and initial equipping of strategically important capabilities to meet commanders warfighting needs, consistent with the Armys modernization priorities. Beyond closing current capability gaps, the Office also aims to stimulate aggressive, proactive capability development and leverage disruptive technologies to meet Army strategic objectives. Within RCCTO, the Advanced Concepts and Experimentation (ACE) Project Office, the mission is to rapidly develop, test, and transition advanced technologies to address high priority items from RCCTO and Army leadership. The office serves as the quick reaction cell for rigorous research and analysis, prototyping, experimentation, and assessment, in order to demonstrate initial technology for larger efforts or provide a residual combat capability. ACE also acts as a portal to nationwide experts in academia, industry, start-ups, and other services. By providing these principal functions, ACE enables Army leaders to make informed decisions on emerging technologies.
