The following three lists will be considered: · the list of 13 key emerging technologies from the second edition (November 1990) of the Army Technology Base Master Plan; · the list of 21 Defense Critical Technologies from The Department of Defense Critical Technologies Plan, prepared by the Department of Defense for the Committees on Armed Services of the U.S.

Consider, for example, the range of technologies relevant to affordability, to stealth and counterstealth capabilities, or to casualty reduction. ARMY TECHNOLOGY BASE: KEY EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES The first column of Table A-2 lists the 13 key emerging technologies in the Army Technology Base Master Plan (November 1990 edition)

The relation to similar STAR technology species is often clearer from the milestone descriptions that accompany each technology area.) Of the four remaining key emerging technologies, three represent classifications by application: space technology, low-observable technology, and protection/lethality.

. In summary, a meaningful comparison of the STAR study with the Army Technology Base technologies should compare nine of the key emerging technologies with the full range of six of the STAR TFAs, not just the nine high-payoff technologies.

From page 281... ...
CONCLUSIONS Each of the three technology lists is more meaningfully compared with the combined scopes of the STAR TFAs than with the STAR high-payoff technologies. The latter were intended to be a fairly exclusive handful of specific rapidly advancing technologies whose pursuit seems most likely to produce major technology payoffs for the Army.
