Investment in Basic and Applied Research is a commitment to the future warfighter
Investment in Basic and Applied Research is a commitment to the future warfighter
“The first step in winning the future is encouraging American innovation. Our free enterprise system is what drives innovation. But because it’s not always profitable for companies to invest in basic research, throughout our history, our government has provided cutting-edge scientists and inventors with the support they need.
Two years ago, I said that we needed to reach a level of research and development , we haven’t seen since the Space Race. And in a few weeks I’ll be sending a budget to Congress that helps us meet that goal. We’ll invest in biomedical

President Obama, State of the Union, 25 Jan 2011President Obama, State of the Union, 25 Jan 2011
research, information technology, and especially clean energy technology -- an investment that will strengthen our security, protect our planet, and create countless new jobs for our people.
Maintaining our leadership in research and technology is crucial to America’s success. But if we want to win the future - - if we want innovation to produce jobs in America and not overseas – then we also have to win the race to educate our kids.
Over the next 10 years, with so many baby boomers retiring from our classrooms, we want to prepare 100,000 new teachers in the fields of science and technology and engineering and math.”

Band critical for all unmanned vehicle testing, including missile and

National Broadband Plan
• Extensive impact and sharing studies underway by Ranges
– Very costly– Lead times for research &
development is years if bands are lost
• Wireless industry wants these specific bands because of cost and performance:
– 1755-1850 MHz band matches the spectrum they got from us in 1990s (1710-1755)
– 2200-2290 MHz band pairs well with 1710-1850 because industry can use same antennas & radios

BA1 basic research, which is systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts but without specific applications to processes or products in mind.
BA2 applied research—systematic study to understand the means to meet a recognized and specific need.
BA3 advanced technology development, which includes development of subsystems and components and efforts to integrate subsystems and components into system prototypes for field experiments or tests in a simulated environment.
BA4 advanced component development and prototypes, including efforts that evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes, or prototype systems in a high-fidelity and realistic operating environment.
BA5 system development and demonstration programs. Such programs conduct engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-scale production.
BA6 RDT&E management support.
BA7 development of operational systems, which covers development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full-scale production.
DoD divides its RDT&E funding into seven different types of budget authority. The first three are collectively termed science and technology (S&T) budget authority.
