The Defense In-House Laboratories

Abstract

The Center for Strategic and International Studies at Georgetown University is conducting a broad study on 'U.S. R+D Management.' This report was prepared to review the issues pertaining to the Defense inhouse laboratories and provide a historical perspective for the period 1961-1970. The review covers the problems identified, the actions taken, the problems that are still evident, and the various options available to make these organizations more effective. The interpretation of historical events given here and the options described are presented to stimulate discussion and dialogue concerning the important matter of in-house governmental laboratories. As such, they do not necessarily coincide with the official views of the Department of Defense.
