RAPID CAPABILITIES OFFICE


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."

Notice the two important statements, that this office deals with
higly secret military systems which need to be ...QUICKLY....
developed.

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


Now I know why you lose every single debate with me,

Given that I haven't lost one yet, I fail to see how you can reach
that conclusion.

you can't read.

On the contrary, I *can* read.

The above statement explains what this office does. I quote, it
"expedites development and fielding...". Can you comprehend that
statement?

Yes I can. In military buzzword parlance, "expedite" means (among
other things) "without the normal burdens of paperwork, oversight, and
review that slow down projects in hopes of actually speeding up the
project". It does not have the civilian meaning of "quickly".

And the other is and I quote "sensitive activities". Is the meaning
of that also outside your comprehension?

Nope, that statement is trivially understood - once you grasp that
"sensitive" != "classified". "Sensitive" has a wide variety of
meanings, including "classified", but also "mission critical", "time
critical", etc... etc...

Only in Hollywood and bad technothrillers does "sensitive" invariable
mean "highly classified".

Come back when you've learned to read at no less than
a jr high level. Responses like this make it hard to take
you seriously.

ROTFLMAO.
