  1. Affording Defense Capability: An SE-Centric Take on Science and Technology Priorities Kristen Baldwin Principal Deputy, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering

  2. Integrated S&T Enterprise Operational Challenge JUONs, UONs, COCOM IPL Missions • National Defense Strategy • Quadrennial Defense Review • Space Posture Review • Nuclear Posture Review Objective Architectures Critical Capabilities Enabling Technologies Laboratory Program Basic Research Program STEM Program Industry IR&D FFRDCs UARCs

  3. Assistant Secretary of Defense Research and Engineering Imperatives Accelerate delivery of technical capabilities to win the current fight. Prepare for an uncertain future. Reduce the cost, acquisition time and risk of our major defense acquisition programs. Develop world class science, technology, engineering, and mathematics capabilities for the DoD and the Nation. Fast Track Studies Threat sensors mounted to fuselage exterior -Electronic Warfare -Computer Science -Cyber Operations -Energy & Water -Rapid Capability Tool Kit Helicopter Alert & Threat Termination-Acoustic (HALTT-A ) Task Forces Base Protection Helo Survivability MRAP-ATV Tag, Track, Locate QDR Missions’ Architectures C-IED SIG Support PGSS Stiletto

  4. Quadrennial Defense Review Mission Set Defend the United States and Support Civil Authorities at Home Succeed in Counterinsurgency, Stability, and Counterterrorist Operations Build the Security Capacity of Partner States Deter and Defeat Aggression in Anti-Access Environments Prevent Proliferation and Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction Operate Effectively in Cyberspace. http://www.defense.gov/DefenseReviews/

  6. DoD S&T Focus Areas SECDEF Guidance Complex Threats Electronic Warfare / Electronic Protection Cyber Science and Technology Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction Force Multipliers Data-to-Decisions Human Systems Autonomy Engineered Resilient Systems 19 April 2011

  7. Electronic Warfare / Electronic Protection Advanced Ground Electronic Warfare System (AGES) EW Battle Management for Surface Defense Receiver Detection and Characterization Jam Waveform Optimization Battle Damage Assessment Transmitter Enemy Comms Jammed New capabilities to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum BLADE Vehicle Node Affordable Laser IRCM Survivability System (ALISS) Behavioral Learning for Adaptive Electronic Warfare (BLADE) BLADE Airborne Node BLADE System EWO Command & Display

  8. Cyber: Architecture for S&T Investments Enhance United States National Security & Economic Prosperity Ensure the safety of critical infra-structure Cyberspace is the new domain of warfare Keep the technological advantage Collective defense Need for active defenses Resiliency Agility FoundationalDoD S&TThrusts Assuring Effective Missions Foundations of Trust

  9. Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction • Advanced sensors • Rapid response capabilities • Advanced defeat mechanisms

  10. Data-to-Decisions • Investments span all aspects of this challenge with emphasis shifting from imagery to motion and text analytics • Unstructured data analytics is the most challenging and critical component User Interaction Layer Data Management Layer Analytics Layer

  11. Human Systems Personnel & Training Strategic Decision Support • Realistic, immersive training • Adaptive, tailored instruction • Train partner state forces • Battle management • Autonomous system control

  12. Autonomy

  13. Engineered Resilient SystemsComplex Systems Design Trustworthy Systems Design Conceptual Engineering Technical Thrusts Trustability: design patterns, analytic tools Model-based tools: Analysis and simulation Tying design, physical and computational testing Tradespace exploration Virtual worlds projecting alternative futures Platform-based analysis and architecting Model Based Engineering Platform Based Engineering

  14. Some Final Thoughts • How will we get there? • Systems Engineering Research can contribute to many of the cross cutting DoD S&T priorities • We are placing priority for the SERC on Engineered Resilient Systems • Today’s panel will kick this off!

  15. And, while you’re at it… First Degrees in Natural Sciences and Engineering by Country Source: National Science Board, S&E Indicators, 2010; SDO Analysis Give us the workforce we need to execute in the 21st Century!
