1 recipient will receive $5,379,000. This is a first-time earmark.

Year Enacted: 2005

Description: Rapid Prototype for Special Projects: The plus-up for Rapid Prototyping resulted in extremely beneficial prototype projects and deliverables in support of USSOCOM and Army urgent needs. Some significant project benefits were of a longer term nature, with wide potential application. An example of this is Dual Use Composites Silent Operating Aerial Reconnaissance (DUC-SOAR). Other project benefits were of a more immediate nature. An example of this was a set of Camp Bucca Detention Facility initiatives,which resulted in prototypes that were delivered to and very successfully used (evaluated) in theater.
