Concepts for Change: DoD's 2014 Research and Engineering Strategy.

摘要

For more than 50 years, the Department of Defense (DoD) has relied on Research and Engineering (R&E) to provide the nation with the technology- based operational capability superiority that protects U.S. forces and helps to ensure national security. DoD's scientists and engineers work daily with industry and academia to conceive, develop and mature concepts into capabilities that provide an operational advantage to our warfighters. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OASD R&E) is responsible for the department's current and future technical and engineering capabilities and for helping to define the technical boundaries and expand the realm of the possible early in the department's acquisition process. The office includes the roles of chief technology officer, chief engineer, and chief of developmental testing, and is responsible for leading the rapid transition of new technologies to the warfighter.
