    • Abstract:
      US Department of Defense labs are faced with significant challenges including an aging workforce and infrastructure, the inability to compete successfully for new scientists and engineers, and the loss of research prominence. This comes at a time when China is challenging the technological standing of the United States across the globe. This article proposes governance models that retain the best of the DoD lab workforce and infrastructure while leveraging the larger US research and development ecosystem to reset and retool the DoD labs for the twenty-first century. This article engages an historical account of the DoD Lab enterprise and offers recommendations for moving forward to regain our strengths through rethinking the way we do business.
