Technology Watch/Horizon Scanning
Abstract
The Technology Watch/Horizon Scanning Program supports emerging technology characterization through the identification of technology research trends and the forecasting of future concepts and technologies exhibiting high growth with potential for military application for the 2035-2040 timeline. Primary objectives are to: - Identify and contextualize critical and emerging technology (C&ET) with potential military applications for the DoD; and - Track global technology trends that challenge fundamental assumptions underpinning current operations and shaping the future of war. Leveraging technology watch and horizon scanning (TW/HS) capabilities, the program’s end-state is to inform the Department’s investment decisions in technology areas to maintain or regain global competitive advantage. The program complements this with tailored technical assessments that identify the military relevance, research opportunities, and policy recommendations for emerging and disruptive technologies.
