Abstract

This Program establishes dedicated funding to carry out the duties as described in 10 U.S.C 133a and the Department of Defense Directive 5137.02, “Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)),” dated July 15, 2020. In addition, the Program supports the National Defense Strategy and enables the Department to defend the homeland; deter strategic attacks against the United States, Allies, and partners; deter aggression; and build a resilient Joint Force and defense ecosystem. This funding directly supports Major Defense Acquisition Programs in accordance with the National Defense Strategy and in support of the critical technology areas advanced by the Under Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering. Furthermore, it supports the implementation of Department initiatives and advances the development and adoption of emerging technologies with speed and agility in the areas of interoperability, digital engineering, software engineering, model-based systems engineering, specialty engineering, value engineering, modular open systems approaches (MOSA), and standardization.
