Strategic Imperatives for the DoD Science & Technology Program

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E) vision is to develop the technology needed to defeat any adversary, state and non-state, on any battlefield, including space and cyberspace. Technology opportunities are expanding, but not well understood. The pace of technological change is ever increasing. DoD technological focus is shifting away from an emphasis on ships, tanks, and planes - to focus on protection, information, knowledge, and timely, actionable intelligence in an every changing world. National defense strategy drives the DoD investment strategy.
