Technology for National Security

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the principal findings and recommendations of the Commission on Integrated Long-Term Strategy's Working Group on Technology. Specifically, subsequent pages outline the Group's views on what is required if the U.S. is to have the technology necessary to implement the Commission's recommendations on how best to ensure U.S. national security into the 21st century. Just as important, however, the authors believe that many of the recommendations set forth in this report must be implemented even if the integrated strategy outlined in Discriminate Deterrence is not fully carried out. Whatever the specific outlines of the U.S. deterrent posture in the future, its credibility to our adversaries and allies alike will depend significantly upon a concerted U.S. effort now to revitalize the defense science and technology base.
