Abstract:
The 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review QDR emphasized the need for greater agility in the Department of Defense DOD a need amplified as terrorists exhibit the very adaptability so desired. The QDR also specified that to achieve this goal, DOD must undertake organizational change. The QDR provided insights into the potential threat environment for decades to come. The current and future threats to national security cannot be addressed and managed by simple, single-dimensional actions. Rather, an enterprise-wide action plan is called for that includes changes to people, processes, and technologies. To achieve such drastic enhancements, actions are needed throughout the department. As part of the Defense Science Board 2006 Summer Study on 21st Century Strategic Technology Vectors see Terms of Reference in Appendix A, this report focuses on the DOD science and technology enterprise and how it could be transformed to meet the nations future security challenges. It reflects the findings and recommendations of the studys panel on strategic technology planning see Panel Membership in Appendix B, which was charged with reviewing the processes by which national security objectives are used to derive needed operational capabilities, which in turn are used to develop and prioritize science and technology plans and programs.
