A Study on Managing the Army's Research and Development Investments in a Time of Declining Resources

Abstract

The Army's FY16 projected defense budget continues on a declining trend necessitating end strength reductions and deferring some modernization programs. The Army's Operating Concept to "Win In a Complex World" requires a more efficient means to develop an increasingly capable Army while meeting affordability levels. Discovering and developing technologies to ensure battlefield dominance is a key component of Army modernization even under fiscal constraints. The research investigates how collaboration between Government Research, Development, and Engineering (RDEC) organizations and industry can further enhance the Army's ability to meet this important mission in defense of the nation.
