The Army's Evolving Science and Technology Strategy: Will It Maintain Our Technological Supremacy?

Abstract

If we are to realize the vision of the future Army as a globally deployable strategic force the Army must maintain technological supremacy. A gargantuan task considering the dramatic conclusion to the cold war has resulted in significant reductions in defense spending and sparked debate about more severe reductions in the future. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the U.S. Army is emerging to meet this challenge through a science and technology program that has: -- greater emphasis on acquisition of knowledge over hardware. -- early and continuous involvement of Warfighters via Battlefield Laboratories. -- increased use of technology demonstrations.
