Program Narratives
Mission— Critical Technology Analysis
The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering OUSD(R&E) works closely with the Military Services, Combatant Commands, industry, academia, and other stakeholders to ensure that the Department's critical technology area strategy addresses the key national security challenges- from rising seas to a rising China- that the United States faces today and will face in the future. Within OUSD(R&E), the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Critical Technologies OASD(CT) is responsible for managing and overseeing the set of critical technology areas (CTAs) vital to maintaining the United States' national security that are designated by the USD(R&E). While many technologies may cross between these categories, these groupings represent the broad and different approaches that are required to advance technologies crucial to the Department. By focusing efforts and investments into these designated critical technology areas, the Department will accelerate transitioning key capabilities to the Military Services and Combatant Commands. As the Department's technology strategy evolves and technologies change, the critical technology areas will be updated to the technology priorities. The Critical Technology Analysis (CTA) Program Element (PE) funds engineering, scientific, and analytical support for the designated CTAs and programs within OASD(CT). Funds in this PE directly support the organization and are critical to developing and continuously updating research and technology development roadmaps, studies, and analysis as required by Section 217 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2021.
