DOD BOOSTS SOLIC'S IRREGULAR WARFARE R&D BY $11 MILLION IN FY-10

摘要

The Defense Department wants to boost research and development for its special operations shop by roughly $11 million in fiscal year 2010 to accelerate the creation of technologies needed for irregular warfare operations, according Pentagon documents.rnThe $13.5 million set aside for "irregular warfare support" in FY-10 -- a notable increase from the $2.1 million budgeted for FY-09 -- is part of DOD's overall $43.8 million request to support current and future R&D programs financed by the department's special operations and low-intensity conflict (SOLIC) directorate.
