The Department of Defense Statement on the Science and Technology Program,

Abstract

Requirements that must be addressed by technical solutions include: improved reliability (which is 'designed-in' and 'manufactured-in' not just 'tested-in'); life extension and durability of costly military hardware; conservation, substitution, and recycling technologies for critical materials; increased productivity and reduced manufacturing costs in our defense industrial base; the capability to substitute synthetic fuels for petroleum-based fuels; and improved human engineering to better match operational demands of new equipment to training and readiness levels. Advanced Technology Developments and the Manufacturing Technology Program provide great potential for meeting these requirements and accordingly deserve stronger emphasis in the future than is represented in our FY 1981 budget request.
