Abstract

The OSC Program Element funding supports investments in the productization and scaling of critical technologies vital to national and economic security, and in doing so directly aligns to the National Defense Strategy through ensuring an enduring advantage in our critical technology areas, increasing integrated deterrence in the economic domain, strengthening partnerships, campaigning alongside mission-aligned national security departments and agencies, and developing a scalable and secure supply base for industries of the future. Program portfolio aligns with the critical technology areas where applicable. Investment identification and prioritization is determined in coordination with the Military Services and Joint Staff, alongside principle policy-making leadership, including the Undersecretaries for Research and Engineering, Acquisition and Sustainment, Policy, and Comptroller, and the Director of CAPE. Individual projects will scale proportionally with impact, mission need, and private sector contributions. Projects are selected using a merit-based process that identifies the most promising, innovative, and cost-effective technology opportunities, with an emphasis on transitioning technologies into current or future programs of record.
