DoD Techipedia: Technology Awareness

Abstract

Awareness in a World of Constant Change: DoD use of technology to meet current and emerging mission needs is estimated to consume 40% of the budget or about $200B * The FY09 Budget provides nearly $14B in S&T funding and $82B in R%D investments * Predicting how an adversary might use a new technology to harm to the US requires familiarity and even exploitation of emerging technologies * DoD lacks a widely accessible tool to foster collaboration between solution providers and technology consumers - the Acquisition Community must separately engage with dozens of organizations to stay abreast of DoD technology research and investments.
