The Rapid Acquisition Process (RAP) provides fast transition funding for the development and fielding of highly successful competitive experiments and demonstrations. It supports shortening the acquisition response time and acquisition cycle times by addressing every step of the procurement process.

Rapid development projects are characterised by short development timelines, typically 6-12 months. These capabilities are often purpose-built and expendable as they are designed to meet urgent needs, leveraging the most innovative technologies available.
