Innovative Science and Technology, Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, Technical Program Information.

Abstract

The Innovative Science and Technology (IST) program was created to pursue from scientific feasibility to concept demonstration, innovative technologies that revolutionize the BMDO technology base. It began as a novel experiment. Today the experiment is considered a success. Since it was established, breakthroughs in material science, directed energy, distributed processing, solar concentrators, superconductivity, propellants, and dozens of other technologies have sped from theory to prototype.
