... and foreign research, why S&T applications of technologies in development are important in the context of military capabilities, and what critical scientific breakthroughs are needed to achieve advances in the fields of interest -- focusing detailed attention on specific developments in the foregoing fields that might have national security implications for the United States. The workshops will each also consider methodology to track the relevant technology landscape for the future.

... Vos asserted that the United States needs to be careful to not trip up by losing focus on the fundamentals. For example, there are unmanned aerial vehicles that land themselves reliably and repeatedly but others for which landing is a problem.

... The electrooptical command, control, detection system in low-light conditions can give a really good image, and so it is not necessary to go to infrared, which has obvious applicability in battlespace awareness. Vos concluded his talk by suggesting that less wealthy forces that are not friendly to the United States can use these low-cost solutions.
