... around the world, to leverage others' investments, and to seek out collaborations in areas where researchers need to remain at the leading edge. Today, the globalization of science and technology has profoundly impacted the global research landscape and the ways in which the international research community accesses, participates in the production of, and exchanges scientific knowledge.

... DoD enterprisewide global awareness begins with ensuring that this S&T workforce is globally aware of emerging S&T developments. However, researchers at defense laboratories and research centers who wish to engage internationally face funding limitations and restrictions on travel and conference participation, as well as security walls closing in on research activities that should be as open as possible within the boundaries of national security concerns.

... If the DoD does not develop a specific, clearly defined and implementable enterprise-wide strategy for fully taking advantage of global S&T, either by absorbing knowledge and talent from the international research community or collaborating, it runs the risk of losing technological competency with severe implications for economic and national security. The committee offers the following four recommendations and important first steps to implement each: Recommendation I The ASD/R&E should develop a specific, clearly defined and imple mentable strategy to maintain global awareness of relevant scientific and technological advances that emerge from the dynamic, intercon nected, and expanding global S&T enterprise.

... Recommendation III DoD and its Services should conduct a systematic review and analysis of existing mechanisms intended to improve global S&T awareness to identify steps to remove barriers and improve their effectiveness. Important first steps include:  The ASD/R&E, in concert with the R&E ExCom, should estab lish policy and provide support to enable DRE researchers to attend relevant technical conferences and workshops.

... Recommendation IV The DoD and its Services should develop an enterprise-wide solution to implement the strategy called for in Recommendation I Important first steps include:  The ASD/R&E should establish DRE-wide reporting protocols and a DRE-wide searchable repository to begin building global situational awareness.
