Introduction
The Army Research and Development (R&D) Plan is the foundation for collection and development of decision support information that underpins Army’s modernisation. The R&D Plan has an enduring relevance to the Army’s modernisation processes. The plan streamlines the Army’s research activities while providing enhanced accountability and transparency regarding decisions about future capability.
In the short term, the plan ensures the Army’s continued relevance in the current operating environment and informs strategic perspectives of the future operating environment. In the medium and long term the plan enables the establishment of benchmarks around research lines of effort and allows the Army to chart progress of its modernisation initiatives. This R&D plan allows the Army to remain at the forefront of evolution and revolution in land warfare to enhance detection and mitigation of potential strategic shock.
