Pentagon Budget Seeks To Leverage R&D Investments


Pentagon Budget Seeks To Leverage R&D Investments

The University of Maryland School of Public Policy’s Program for Public Consultation conducted the survey, which is designed to present information, offer competing arguments about how to use resources, and then ask for policy recommendations, in an effort to put respondents in the shoes of a policymaker.
The survey also asked about funding levels for specific programs. After learning that it would save $6 billion this year and $97 billion through 2037, a nationwide majority (54 percent) and majorities in every state subset favored cancelling the F-35 joint strike fighter program in favor of upgrading current fighters. http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/policy-budget/budget/2016/02/13/pentagon-budget-seeks-leverage-rd-investments/80293508/
