Frequently asked questions
Which key technology areas does the RCCTO prioritize?
Publicly stated priorities include hypersonic weapons, directed energy (lasers), space-based sensing and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems, and cyber capabilities (per Army press releases, 2022–2024). The office also addresses longer-term 'critical technologies' such as artificial intelligence and robotics.
Does the RCCTO collaborate with private industry, and if so, how?
The office works directly with defense contractors through Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements, which permit faster prototyping and production than traditional contracts (per Defense Acquisition University guidance). Companies such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies are known partners on hypersonic and laser programs respectively.
What is the relationship between RCCTO and Army Futures Command?
Army Futures Command (AFC) is a separate four-star command established in 2018 to design future force structures. RCCTO focuses on rapid prototyping and fielding, while AFC handles longer-range concept development. The two organizations coordinate under the Army modernization enterprise.
