Three Requirements for the Establishment of Valid Research Requirements,

Abstract

In summary, I will simply call again to your attention the three characteristics which I believe to be of greatest importance for the successful functioning of a research requirements system in the military services. First, the responsibility for the conducting of research should be centralized in a separate, autonomous agency which is receptive to, but not constrained by, the problems and requirements of the military operator. Second, the most valuable requirement to be established and maintained within any research system or agency is one calling for a continous, comprehensive and fundamental research effort in specific scientific fields. And third, research administrators at all levels must translate, not just transmit the requirements they receive into more and more researchable hypotheses before passing them on down to the research laboratories for action.
