Information Analysis Center Contributions to DoD Key Technologies. Volume 1

Abstract

The Department of Defense adopted a new acquisition strategy in the early 1990s. This strategy seeks to preserve the defense-related technology base while deferring decisions with regard to the acquisition of specific military systems until detailed threats, roles, missions, and functions requiring new technology have been identified. As part of this strategy, DoD has described seven specific areas of science and technology in which a series of technology investments culminating in Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects will be undertaken. These areas, known as DoD Science and Technology Thrusts, include the following: (1) Global Surveillance and Communications; (2) Precision Strike; (3) Air Superiority and Defense; (4) Sea Control and Undersea Superiority; (5) Advanced Land Combat; (6) Synthetic Environments; and (7) Technology for Affordability.
