International S&T Engagement Strategy
Abstract
ASD(R&E) and USD(AT&L)/International Cooperation (IC) have developed a strategy to provide a more coordinated approach to DOD international science and technology (S&T) collaboration and engagement. The subsequent document is not prescriptive and is not designed to disturb Component-led international cooperative S&T activities, but intended to describe a structure for creating enhanced scientific and technology awareness, coordination, and strategic planning of DOD international S&T engagements, particularly in priority research areas. There are near- and far-term goals described in this strategy, and a detailed implementation memorandum will follow, pending further input from the various stakeholders. This strategy uses the ecosystem of technical groups known as Communities of Interest (COIs), which span cross-cutting areas of S&T throughout the DOD. These groups are populated by the Department's subject matter expert leaders drawn from the Services, Defense Agencies, and OSD that have insight into their portfolio of research investments.
