Summary Report of Defense Science Study Group 3, 1992-1993. Volume 1

Abstract

The Defense Science Study Group (DSSG) is a program sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) and managed by the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). The purpose of the program is to identify some of the most talented young scientists and engineers from academia and expose them to issues and operations related to national security. By strengthening ties between the scientists and engineers and the national security community it is hoped that the Government will be provided with a new source of technical advisors and informed critics. Individuals spend about 20 days per year for 2 years receiving briefings by distinguished speakers; visiting laboratories, intelligence organizations, and military, manufacturing, and industrial facilities; and conducting studies on defense-related topics. A group of mentors who have distinguished careers in defense, industry, or academia provide guidance to the program. This report summarizes the program's activities from 1992-1993.
