Army Basic Research - Creating Extraordinary Opportunities for a Capabilities-Based Army

摘要

The tragic events of 9/11 and our Nation's response to these horrifying acts of terrorism through the war in Afghanistan and the current conflict in Iraq are causing major changes to our national security strategy. DOD's Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) process is addressing the current global security environment's challenges and is considering significant force changes. Exploitation of key technology areas such as advanced sensors, information processing, biotechnology, nanotechnology, cybertechnology and directed energy is being assessed within the QDR from the perspective of both U.S. capabilities and vulnerabilities.
