How We Do It

At our inception we engaged in a large research and development project that advanced the field of all-domain communications and culminated in a milestone OSD Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD). We continue to leverage, grow, and advance the technology from that initial success and beyond.

Our Research Approach

RPRC’s Applied Research Approach brings a non-systematic process of providing solutions to DoD challenges. Warfighter needs are analyzed by our Digital Innovations Apparatus combined with application specific principles and theories, and “Capabilities Integration” process to generate expedited mission-ready solutions to our customers.

RPRC Holisitic Enterprise

Rapid prototyping requires exceptional staff and external expertise to meet DoD expectations and timelines.  Our holistic collaboration with team members, scientists, engineers, designers, fabricators, and technologies ensures mission-ready systems meet warfighter requirements and demands.

PATRIOT for Capabilities Integration

RPRC’s proven approach for delivering Capabilities Integration to our sponsors in the most cost efficient and time saving way is called PATRIOT, in the spirit of our founding fathers.  The PATRIOT process factors in technology integrations’ effects on your mission operations. We understand that our technology solutions are only good if they serve your mission. Capabilities Integration identifies mission needs and operational advancements, and matches these with technology leaders and world leading engineers and scientists to rapidly develop and deliver solutions that will benefit overall mission efficiency and competitive edge.

PATRIOT goes beyond basic Systems Integration to include examining its impact to all mission architectures, systems, networks, security, and procedures to ensure resilient interoperability and continued operations with the introduction of new technologies.

PATRIOTcapabilites integration allows RPRC to collaborate with customers to match the right technology with the right talent to support mission needs. By considering the aggregate mission effects of the new and legacy technology, we offer leaders the increased speed of decision needed to win.
