Mission
"The Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office expedites development and fielding
of select Department of Defense combat support and weapon systems by
leveraging defense-wide technology development efforts and existing
operational capabilities. The Board of Directors tasks the office directly
to address needs that involve mission applications and operational concepts
requiring specialized expertise, and involve sensitive activities managed
by other government agencies. The office also conducts projects on
accelerated timelines."

developed.
Notice that the above says neither 'quickly' nor 'highly secret'.
