From Reform to Reduction: Reports on the Management of Navy and Department of Defense Laboratories in the Post-Cold War Era

Abstract

This book reviews approximately 65 of the significant reports issued on Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of the Navy (DoN) management of research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) from the end of the Cold War through the late 1900s. It is designed for two primary audiences: (1) DOD, congressonal, and other governmental staff who need an accessible overview and quick reference and bibliographic guide to issues during that period; and (2) researchers and historians, especially those interested in available sources. These sources include not only major reports, but also a wealth of other, unpublished, often unique material housed in both the post)Cold War management archive at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the Navy laboratories collection at the Operational Archives of the Naval Historical Center (NHC), Washington Navy Yard.
