Tri-Service Science and Technology Reliance

摘要

The National Security Strategy of the United States Depends on technologicalsuperiority to counter the military numerical superiority of its potential adversaries. From World War II, through the depths of the Cold War and through Operation Desert Storm, Defense Science and Technology (S and T) has provided vital technology support to the men and women of our Armed Forces. Achieving and maintaining technological superiority is the enduring mission of the S and T community of the Department of Defense. It is a demanding task: technology is rapidly changing and even relatively small technology advances can cause dramatic shifts in military effectiveness. The three Military Departments, working cooperatively, must vigorously pursue technology development to succeed in their respective missions and responsibilities.
