Technical Intelligence
Abstract
Technical Intelligence supports five core technology thrusts that combine efforts in two areas: 1) from the university community through the JASONs (this is not an acronym) program and 2) through information on maturation and development of technology throughout the rest of the world. (U) JASONs is a group of approximately 65 appropriately cleared experts who provide detailed independent technical assessment of the most difficult technological problems. JASON members are mostly fully tenured professors in physics, mathematics, biosciences, and engineering, and hold active SCI-level clearances. Output from JASON studies are provided across the leadership and program manager levels and their studies shape programmatic and technical decisions involving millions of dollars. JASONs were previously funded through university research programs, but their level of technology maturity is appropriate for incorporation into Applied Research. (U) The technical intelligence program will support collaborative work with the U.S. federal intelligence community on emerging and disruptive technologies, primarily through further development of the Science and Technology Net Assessment studies, which assess a select set of technologies from both a domestic and foreign development perspective. The program will also support focused technology and regional trend studies and collaborative work with international partner nations on assessments of emerging and disruptive technology and its application. The technical intelligence program will also support development of information technology based tools that enable collaborative analysis of emerging and disruptive technologies.
