SCO provides most detailed accounting to date of once-secret projects

摘要

The Pentagon's once-secretive innovation shop charged with gaining back conventional combat advantages against potential near-peer adversaries such as China and Russia provided the most complete public accounting of its work during an April 12 congressional hearing. Will Roper, director of the Strategic Capabilities Office, told the Senate Armed Services emerging threats subcommittee that the new organization - since its formation in August 2012 - has produced 15 projects, six of which have transitioned from prototype experiments to permanent programs with operational sponsors and a secure spot in the Pentagon's future budget plan.
