Policy R&D Programs

Abstract

This program supports the Department's initiatives to Defend the Homeland, and Deter Aggression. The Policy R&D Program supports the National Defense Strategy by providing analysis to overcome military security challenges. Since the global environment is dynamic, research is necessary for continued understanding of military structures, foreign cultures, and ethnic issues. This program examines demographic data, investigates future global security challenges, provides insights to inform critical national security decisions, explores ways to build partnership capabilities to counter organizational warfare, develops foreign military infrastructure, and denies sanctuary to extremist groups. This program blends several disciplines including surveillance, operations, policy, information management, cyber policy, training and technology.
