Electronic Warfare (EW)2. Infrared and Pyrotechnic Countermeasures3. Strategic Systems Hardware4. Expeditionary Warfare and Systems5. Advanced Electronics6. Sensors and Surveillance Systems7. Hypersonic Weapon Systems8. Power and Energy Systems9. Electro-optic and Infrared Technologies10.Force level EW Mission Analysis, Advanced Concepts and TechnologiesWithin each of the TCs, there are multiple thrust areas, which present considerable opportunities for innovative research and solutions to support national security imperatives. There is intentional overlapping space within the listed TC such that a potential technology or research idea may support multiple TCs. Any proposal should list the principal TC as well as any adjunct TCs that should be considered. Proposals that support multiple TCs are strongly desired but not necessary.
