Abstract:

This is the fourth annual report on emerging trends in science and technology S and T published by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Technology DASAR and T. As in prior years, the report has two primary objectives. First, it is intended to inform leaders across the U.S. Army and stakeholders in the joint, interagency, and international community about S and T trends that are likely to influence the future operating environment and shape warfighting capabilities over the next 30 years. Second, it is intended to spark strategic dialogue around the kind of S and T investments the Army should make to ensure that our Soldiers maintain overmatch across the range of likely future operating environments.
