Life Cycle Technology Insertion

Abstract : United States defense strategy is critically dependent on its ability to exploit advanced technology. History has shown that technology can act as a major force multiplier and provide operational superiority against adversaries and the threats they present to the American way of life. It is critical for the Department of the Navy (DON) to exploit technology to create war-fighting capabilities as quickly and efficiently as possible. To that end senior Navy and Marine Corps leadership is concerned that the processes for both identifying and exploiting new technology be operating at maximum efficiency. What is desired is timely delivery of cost effective war-fighting capabilities to our Fleet and Fleet Marine Forces.
