Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Applied Research
Abstract
Software is key to meeting the DoD’s increasing demand for high-quality, affordable, and timely national defense systems. With growing global parity in software engineering, the DoD must maintain leadership to avoid strategic surprise. To assist the DoD in retaining a long-term differential advantage over potential adversaries, the SEI Applied Research PE will develop and evaluate the feasibility and practicality of software and computer science concepts with the potential to improve future DoD systems. This PE represents a pivot toward more fundamental research that will enable the DoD to address longer-term challenges in software technology and engineering. The SEI Applied Research PE will fund the SEI Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) as the leading DoD center for addressing these longer term challenges. The SEI Applied Research PE will bolster the organic research at the SEI FFRDC, enable stronger collaborations between the SEI FFRDC and academia, attract top researchers to the SEI, give DoD access to top experts in information science, and generally enhance the DoD’s ability to benefit from the military applications of research in software and computer science.
