Considerations for the Effective Application of Research and Technology on the Improvement of U.S. Coast Guard Operational Systems and their Employment.

Abstract

There is evidence that USCG Operational capabilities suffer to some extent from ineffective employment of technological strategic planning and from inadequate application of research and technology. The possible reasons for these shortcomings are examined using the DOD/Navy RDT and E/Acquisition program as a model. Doctrinal, institutional and organizational aspects of the DOD/Navy RDA process and the USCG R and D and acquisition processes are reviewed. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations provided that offer to improve the impact of the Coast Guard RDT and E process on operational systems and their employment.
