Strategic Vendor Engagement

*Reminder to mute call-in phones*

RETS Objective Create an IDIQ acquisition vehicle for OUSD(R&E) to:

Obtain contractor support for a range of RDT&E technical services Provide engineering leadership throughout the DoD to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow Use a cadre of superior, agile & specialized small business vendors Emphasize Mission Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, S&T, Prototyping & Experimentation, M&S, DT&E, Ops Research & Data Management

The currency of today’s strategic competition is technology

Return to Great Power Competition Reemergence of long-term, strategic competition Revisionist powers: China and Russia U.S. technological advantage is eroding Adversaries are moving to next generation capabilities across all domains Rapid technological advancements are changing the character of war Lower barriers to entry New technologies New ways to fight

The Opportunity Success goes to the country that better integrates and adapts to new technology U.S. will continue to rely on technology to offset disadvantages in mass and logistical challenges of fighting in other theaters Organization and culture Coincides with historic need for advanced, innovative capabilities to maintain and widen our technological edge S&T community currently enjoys broad support and desire for us to succeed

“Success no longer goes to the country that develops a new technology first, but rather to the one that better integrates it and adapts its way of fighting.”

– National Defense Strategy

USD(R&E) Mission Ensure Technological Superiority for the U.S. Military Set the technical direction for the Department of Defense Champion and pursue new capabilities, concepts, and prototyping activities throughout the DoD research and development enterprise Independent technical risk assessment Bolster Modernization Pilot new acquisition pathways and concepts of operation Accelerate capabilities to the warfighter

“Our mission is to foster technological dominance across the Department of Defense and ensure the advantage of the American warfighter.”

– Under Secretary Griffin, April 2018

National Defense Strategy Lines of Effort Build a More Lethal Force Strengthen Alliances and Attract New Partners Change the Way We Do Business “A more lethal force, strong alliances and partnerships, American technological innovation, and a culture of performance will generate decisive and sustained U.S. military advantages.” – National Defense Strategy

The U.S. is now challenged to strike any adversary at will Equal access to emerging technologies, such as autonomy, artificial intelligence and synthetic biology, will disrupt future conflicts The U.S. still possesses the best military, however our adversaries’ deliberate actions mandate change in what we buy and how we operate We must develop new lethal capabilities and accelerate the pace in which we get that capability to the warfighter Focus On Modernization

Pictures from DVIDS

These modernization priority areas magnify the Department's technical dominance and support the objectives set forth by the Secretary of Defense and the National Defense Strategy.

Each focus area is assigned an Assistant Director or Technical Director who functions as the Under Secretary’s lead expert on that technology priority Regaining Technological Superiority Hypersonics (HS) 5G Biotechnology Microelectronics (ME) Directed Energy (DE) Space Cyber Quantum Science (QS) Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence (ML/AI) Autonomy Fully Networked Command, Control and Communication (FNC3

Modernization Priorities
