International Science and Technology Strategy for the United States Department of Defense
Abstract
The United States has an extensive defense science and technology (S&T) program that is the foundation of the technology base from which U.S. defense capabilities are developed, acquired and maintained. S&T collaboration with allies and international partners enhances the U.S. S&T program and contributes to U.S. and partner nations' technological capabilities, coalition operations, and mutual national security interests. This document provides a top-level view of the DoD strategy for international collaboration in U.S. defense S&T activities. It is intended for use by both the U.S. and our international allied defense S&T. The National Security interests of the United States are undeniably global in nature. As the US continues the Global War on Terror (GWOT), it is important to recognize that the national security interests of the United States, and that of our allies, are intertwined. Our military forces have recognized this global nature for decades, and as the visions and strategic plans of the United States Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines demonstrate, they are prepared to take action as needed. It is imperative that our defense science and technology program mirror this preparedness. International science and technology activities are unquestionably a key ingredient for the long-term future of our national security and that of our allies. The strategy provided in this document will continue to assure our Nation and our partners of our intent to not only maintain this security posture, but to strengthen it.
