Controlling Militarily Significant Emerging Technologies

Abstract

For years, the defense industry had been the catalyst for developing emerging technologies of military importance that were subsequently found to have significant commercial application. This is no longer the case today, and we are ever more dependent on partnering with private industry to develop the technologies that will provide us qualitative superiority on the future battlefield. But how do we control technology developed in consortium with private industry in a globally competitive marketplace? This paper will discuss the defense strategy of partnering with commercial industry, emerging technologies critical to the actualization of Army After Next, and adequacy of our strategic export control policies. In conclusion, I will recommend changes to our strategic export control policies in order to minimize proliferation of these technologies.
