SERDP Scientific Advisory Board, Annual Report to Congress, Fiscal Year 1999.

Abstract

During FY 1999, the Board continued to emphasize the strategic role of SERDP in general and the essential function of the SAB to guide SERDP activities toward building a scientifically sound and strategically focused program. The Board recognizes the unique position of SERDP as the "strategic" defense environmental research and development program. To this end, the SAB reaffirmed the position that a SERDP project should focus on the research that is; - essential for the solution of a major defense mission-readiness related problem; - scientifically plausible; - targeted to areas where progress under other program sponsorship in the Department of Defense and/or other agencies is not sufficient or satisfactory; - catalytic in nature to initiate, organize, and accelerate essential research in partnership with the Federal and private sector; and - capable of providing sufficient proof-of-principle demonstrations to attract follow-on Research, Development, Test & Engineering support.
