Safeguarding Military Critical Technologies

Abstract

One of the basic characteristics of virtually every system in the U.S. military is the utilization of superior technology. Technology allows our systems to see farther, be more accurate, process more information, and shorten the decision making cycle. Technological advantages allow the U.S. military to fight even when outnumbered in any conditions and win. Unfortunately, our potential adversaries recognize our technological superiority and seek ways to undermine it. This paper examines how military critical technology is created and reviews how poorly we have done protecting our technology in the past. The current system of governmental agencies assigned to protect military critical technologies will be examined and numerous improvements will be discussed.
