Mission Delta 2
Combat Development Team (CDT)
Connecting Space Domain Awareness Challenges With Emerging Capabilities Through Technical Evaluation & Engineering Integration.
What CDT Supports
Operator-informed capability discovery and assessment. Demonstrations, test evidence and technical SME engagement. Mission-system data, interoperability and integration feasibility, Coordination of viable capability transition pathways.
MD2 mission-driven discovery and engineering assessment of relevant materiel and non-materiel capabilities.
Purpose
Connects operators, technical specialists, system stakeholders and partners to examine value, constraints and applicability.
How CDT Works
CDT supports evaluation and integration planning; formal acquisition, security, integration & fielding decisions remain with authorized owners.

Capability Discovery Guidance
The MD2 Mission Challenges describe operational outcomes MD2 seeks to improve. They are intended to help industry organizations determine where existing or demonstrable capabilities may provide relevant mission value.
Organizations should identify only those Mission Challenges for which an existing or demonstrable capability has credible relevance. A narrow, evidence-backed fit is stronger than a broad generic claim.Identify Relevance
Organizations should be prepared to demonstrate what works today and clearly distinguish demonstrated functionality from developmental, prototype, or future-roadmap capability.Demonstrate Current Capability
Provide Supporting Evidence
Supporting information should address demonstrated performance, current maturity, relevant use or testing, known limitations, and known dependencies. Representative or analogous operational environments are appropriate for initial engagement.Current Capabilities
Available and demonstrable functionality.Across All Mission Challenges, MD2 Seeks To Understand:
