In a recent public announcement, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (R&E) advised the workforce that they had launched two new websites “…to provide information on how two of its directorates support OUSD(R&E)s mission to foster technological dominance across the Department of Defense and ensure the advantage of the American warfighter.” Their two new public websites are:

• Directorate of Defense Research and Engineering for Research and Technology (DDR&E (R&T)) “…includes the latest research and technology through science and technology research programs needed to ensure U.S. technological superiority, the DOD laboratories infrastructure, federally funded research institutions, and programs that help cultivate the next generation of science and technology professionals for the department, among others significant areas.”
• Directorate of Defense Research and Engineering for Advanced Capabilities (DDR&E (AC)) “…highlights the work of the primary technology transition enabler within the DOD that bridges the divide between technology discovery and capability fielding for the warfighter. DDR&E (AC) recognizes, identifies, explores and ensures the development, integration and funding of new technology and capabilities to maintain U.S. technological superiority.
