To compensate for reduced funding, research was closely targets to defense requirements. The General Delegation for aMmarnents (Delegation Generale pour l'Armernent) established research priorities based on Frances's and Europe's projected technology needs in 2012. This planning resulting in a 10 percent increase in the defense research budget for 2003-2008. Individual articles discuss the role of various research centers and address such specialized topics as structurral materials, body armor, meteorological science, information technology, and underwater acoustic communications.
