CYBER QUEST 2022 WHITE PAPER

Please fill in the information in the space provided. Please remove examples in italics and insert your technology information.

Technology Name. ____________________.

Abstract. A short abstract summarizing the technology and how it could be used to address one of the military problems outlined in Enclosure 1.

Perceived Military Benefit and Utility.

Technology Summary.

Provide a brief description of the proposed technology and its capabilities. At the minimum, you should include what the technology is, technical characteristics (size/weight, etc.), and the capability it provides (what does it do).

Example: The Acme Drone is an aerial radio range extension system designed to provide Soldiers with enhanced line of sight communications. The system is composed of an aircraft, carrying pouch, control unit, charging station and battery. The total system weight is three pounds, and the aircraft itself weighs one pound. Operators can select a range of frequencies. The aircraft has a maximum flight duration under optimal conditions of 30 minutes. It can fly up to 1,000 meters altitude and at a maximum distance of 1,000 meters from the control station. The radio frequency used for the aircraft communication with the control unit is 2.4GHZ.

Military Problem Statement.

List the military problem you are trying to solve.

Example: Currently, BCT tactical radio systems lack the ability operate at range in cluttered environments such as woods and forests. Units must use high power, or sight antennas outside or concealed terrain, exposes the unit to risk of electronic detection or hostile fire. The Acme Drone is designed to provide standoff which will give soldiers a tactical advantage.

Operators.

Who do you envision using your technology?

Concept of Military Employment.

Describe how you envision the technology being used in CQ21.

Example: The Acme Drone can be used by disadvantaged users at the tactical edge. Soldiers can carry the system with them from an assembly area to the military objective area. The Acme Drone can be used to conduct tactical radio range extension to the BCT TOC and we recommend one system be used by the platoon / company and battalion TOCs.

Capability Description.

Technology Maturity.

Describe the level of maturity of the proposed technology (e.g., tech demonstrator, prototype, fielded system).

Capability Description.

Describe, in detail your capability.

Partnerships.

Inform the CQ21 Team if you are partnered with an academic institution or other agency that can possibly have oversight or governance requirements during the experiment.

Integration.

Which existing program of record capabilities does the capability integrate to and what, if any, systems must be in place for you capability to function.

Training.

Outline the training plan that your team will provide. How long will it take for you to train the participating Soldiers? Consider classroom and hands on practical exercises in your estimate. CQ does not have unlimited time, with only five days for all capability training to be conducted.

Video Submissions (optional).

If you have a video on the internet of the technology please provide a link to the video here. This is not a requirement but may help us better understand your submission.

Vendor Objectives.

What you wish to learn about the technology from participating in CQ21. Objectives should be precise, measurable and obtainable.

Vendor Objective 1 (Required).

Example: Does the Acme Drone meet Soldier requirements for size, weight, and capability?
