Pentagon’s Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) Director Jay Dryer recently detailed the organization's focus areas, operating with a $1.7 billion budget this year to rapidly prototype and transition "game-changing" high-tech solutions for near-term challenges. The SCO collaborates with combatant commands and military services, prioritizing warfighter needs across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains. Its three portfolios include long-range fires (kinetic systems), autonomy and AI (human decision-making, command-and-control), and "special and enabling capabilities" (cyber, electronic warfare, space, special operations forces). Eight key focus areas aim to enable "blue kill chains" and disrupt "red kill chains," encompassing precision fires, contested logistics, novel employment, deception, advanced kill webs, countering adversary kill chains, extended reach, survivability, and cost-effective air defense. Projects like Ghost Fleet USVs and the Pele nuclear power plant exemplify its work, emphasizing industry partnerships.
