The Coast Guard’s Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) program enhances acquisition and mission execution by providing applied scientific research, development, testing, and evaluation of new technologies for the maritime environment. The RDT&E program pursues technologies that provide incremental improvements as well as those with the greatest potential to strategically transform the way the Coast Guard does business.
The RDT&E program brings a wealth of capability to each research and development effort to include:
- Human factors analysis
- Requirements generation and pre-acquisition technical development
- Feasibility and affordability of new technologies
- Research, development, testing, and evaluation of new technologies
- Risk-management analysis at all stages of the acquisition process
- Independent technical analysis and operational effectiveness modeling
