AAU urges Congress to provide at least $2.760 billion for DOD 6.1 basic research, $3.665 billion for DARPA, and $17.038 billion for DOD S&T in FY21.
Department of Defense (DOD)-funded basic research has contributed significantly to our nation’s economic and national security. DOD relies on technological innovation as a force multiplier, and cutting-edge advances have helped make our military the best-equipped and most effective in the world.
