This strategic plan guides investment and management priorities for the collective Department of Defense (DoD) Research and Engineering (R & E) program. While each Service and Agency with an R & E program has specific responsibilities to plan, program, and execute programs to meet their specific Component's needs, this strategy develops a broader context that fosters coordination of Service and Agency efforts to provide complete and integrated DoD capabilities. Each of the Services and Agencies R & E programs should leverage and complement each others efforts in an integrated program and framework. Indeed, the objective for all efforts within the R & E program should be to meet the larger Defense Department enterprise's needs efficiently and effectively, achieving the greatest degree of collaboration and coordination possible. There is no single priority, principle, capability, or technology that constitutes a successful DoD R & E program; but rather a number of priorities and a portfolio of technologies that support the National Security Strategy and the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). This R & E strategic plan identifies these higher-valued principles, capabilities, and technologies that are used to guide the investment and management of the DoD R & E program. The result is a proactive R & E program.

The DoD Basic Research Program is the cutting edge of the Defense Science and Technology Program. For more than 50 years, the Department of Defense has relied on its Basic Research Program to maintain U.S. military technological superiority. This objective has been realized primarily by DoD support for research into scientific and engineering areas of proven or potential importance to defense. DoD researchers also keep a watchful eye on research activities all over the world to prevent technological surprise. As the pace of technology quickens, it has become ever more important to maintain the world-class quality of the DoD research program, and to guide, coordinate, and integrate its many diverse activities. The Basic Research Plan (BRP) presents a comprehensive and reasonably complete overview of the whole DoD research program, presents the rationale for it, outlines its contents and organization, tabulates the funding (by program element as well as by discipline), and concludes with a few examples of its extraordinary accomplishments. The bulk of the funding of the DoD research program supports 12 disciplinary areas, managed by 10 Strategic Planning Groups (SPGs). (Two pairs of related disciplines are grouped together under one SPG.) Each discipline is briefly described. Interdisciplinary research is encouraged and is specifically addressed under three program titles: Strategic Research Areas (SRAs), Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI), and Government-Industry Cooperative University Research Program (GICUR). The program also supports infrastructure through education and training in science and engineering, and university instrumentation under the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP).

The development and application of technology has been an essential part of U.S. airpower, leading to a century of air supremacy. But that developmental path has rarely been straight, and it has never been smooth. Only the extraordinary efforts of exceptional leadership - in the Air Forces and the wider Department of Defense, in science and in industry - have made the triumphs of military airpower possible. Development Planning provides recommendations to improve development planning for near-term acquisition projects, concepts not quite ready for acquisition, corporate strategic plans, and training of acquisition personnel. This report reviews past uses of development planning by the Air Force, and offers an organizational construct that will help the Air Force across its core functions. Developmental planning, used properly by experienced practitioners, can provide the Air Force leadership with a tool to answer the critical question, Over the next 20 years in 5-year increments, what capability gaps will the Air Force have that must be filled? Development planning will also provide for development of the workforce skills needed to think strategically and to defectively define and close the capability gap. This report describes what development planning could be and should be for the Air Force.

Each year, the U.S. spends billions of dollars on space-based systems to support national security activities. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2010 requires the DoD and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to develop and issue a space science and technology (S&T) strategy every two years addressing S&T goals and a process for achieving these goals, among other requirements. This report addresses: (1) the extent to which the strategy meets the statutory requirements; (2) if other approaches could be used to enhance the usefulness of the strategy; and (3) the extent of coordination efforts used in developoing the strategy.

The United States has an extensive defense science and technology (S&T) program that is the foundation of the technology base from which U.S. defense capabilities are developed, acquired and maintained. S&T collaboration with allies and international partners enhances the U.S. S&T program and contributes to U.S. and partner nations' technological capabilities, coalition operations, and mutual national security interests. This document provides a top-level view of the DoD strategy for international collaboration in U.S. defense S&T activities. It is intended for use by both the U.S. and our international allied defense S&T. The National Security interests of the United States are undeniably global in nature. As the US continues the Global War on Terror (GWOT), it is important to recognize that the national security interests of the United States, and that of our allies, are intertwined. Our military forces have recognized this global nature for decades, and as the visions and strategic plans of the United States Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines demonstrate, they are prepared to take action as needed. It is imperative that our defense science and technology program mirror this preparedness. International science and technology activities are unquestionably a key ingredient for the long-term future of our national security and that of our allies. The strategy provided in this document will continue to assure our Nation and our partners of our intent to not only maintain this security posture, but to strengthen it.
