Adapting for Victory: DOD Laboratories for the 21st Century

Abstract

In an era of renewed Great Power competition, the technological advantage of the U.S. military - long the cornerstone of our military assurance and hence world security - is threatened. Strategic competitors, chief among them the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation, are now approaching parity in many areas. Their stated intent is to reach full parity, and then achieve technological dominance themselves, in an accelerated timeframe. The consequences of that to the United States and the rest of the world are unacceptable.
