Preventing Technology Surprise: The Army's Leading Edge Research Programs and the Subject Matter Expertise that Fuels Them

Recently completed

Topics

Getting the right equipment into soldiers’ hands requires the research community to provide a steady, forward-thinking stream of technologies to upgrade or create weapons systems for 2035 and beyond. To develop and mature those technologies, the U.S. Army needs subject matter expertise to invent those new technologies and integrate them into mission capability. The U.S. Army has two programs that generate useful technologies and ensure a basis of expertise to create and integrate them. This study will review and evaluate how well those programs enable the Army to develop the next generation of capabilities necessary to avoid technological surprise.
