Mr. Aldridge and Dr. Etter, please address how funding levels for DOD basic research impact not only military capabilities, but also the pool of skilled scientists and engineers who will drive innovation and change.
Do you see that as creating an incentive for the private sector to do more research funding?
Using the Army Science Board to study this issue makes sense and I wholly support their effort.
Mr. Aldridge and Dr. Etter, do you believe that the levels of funding for basic research are adequate to propel transformation throughout the services?
