Background
• Unmanned systems have rapidly transformed operations in
operation in Iraq and Afghanistan
– Predator unmanned aerial system
– Talon and PackBot Counter-IED unmanned systems
• User confidence in unmanned systems has led to the generation of
new requirements
– Systems provide critical capabilities in hazardous operations
– Currently an adjunct capability not fully integrated into the force
structure
• Unmanned systems development efforts now span academia,
industry, an government
– Structured, integrated approach is necessary to fully realize the
potential of unmanned systems
– Opportune time to establish the infrastructure for unmanned systems
development efforts

Unmanned Systems Path Ahead
• Link unmanned systems efforts to key AT&L initiatives
within Joint Advanced Concepts and SPAWAR CTO
• Elevates and integrates unmanned systems into the
development of future force capabilities
• Leverage and focus DDR&E RDT&E efforts to transition
and field
• Formalize an organizational construct to meet
Congressional direction from the FY2007 NDAA

Mentor Protégé Contracting Strategy
Goals:
 Resolve issue of having to find host contracts
 Ensure consistency across MP agreements
• Reporting
• Management
•Opportunities for Protégé
 Incentivize
• Subcontracting to Protégés
• Growth of Protégé
• Use of IRaD
• Transition/POR
Implementation:
 Direct contracting authority to SSC-SD from OSD SBPO IAW
DFARS I-103(b)(3)
 Award future MP’s through central contract with each Mentor
 Establish Mentor PM to manage/link MP efforts
 Establish Award Fee Line

Where Now?
• The San Diego Community is positioned to become a
national asset
– Academia, Industry, and Government
– Collaboration locally and nationally
– Industry support groups
• Infrastructure to support strategic objectives
• Continue to bridge domains - military, commercial,
homeland security
