Technical Studies
Abstract
This program is a key source of funding for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff to manage studies, analyses, strategic planning, and technical support efforts to improve and support policy development, decision making, management and administration of DoD programs and activities. Studies and analyses will examine current and alternative policies, plans, operations, strategies and budgets, providing essential means for managing and responding to the shifting and complex international, political, technological, economic, military, and acquisition environments in which national security planning decisions are made. Independent analyses from subject matter experts are instrumental for senior defense planners in making informed choices regarding requirements for force planning and strategic deployment of assets taking into account technological challenges and resource constraints, and there is a strong need to incorporate the findings of operational analysis in force planning requirements and projections. With the complexities of advanced emerging security threats in the current geopolitical environment, the need for objective analysis and forward looking planning to inform senior leadership for the mid and long-term is vital to remaining strategically competitive.
