We are committed to maintaining our military technological superiority. High priority investments include:
• Defense basic science (maintained at $1.2 billion)

• Information technologies to enhance the capabilities of individual warfighters and win the information war.

• Modeling and simulation to improve combat readiness, doctrine development, and acquisition.

• Advanced sensors for improved situation awareness, quicker and more accurate target identification, and better targeting.

New directions for national security science and technology:
• Technology for affordability: lowering the cost of achieving and maintaining needed military capabilities.

• Accessing commercial technology through strengthened bonds between the civilian and military sectors.

• New missions such as countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
