Research Areas
Research Groups are comprised of a unique networked team of subject matter experts, including practitioners and scholars representing numerous engineering, technological, humanities and social science disciplines, with the capability to address case studies and analyze behaviors along many dimensions i.e. legality, ethics, feasibility, social implications, in the area of military operations, national security, and emerging technologies.
The Consortium conducts research at two levels: Thrust Level Groups and High Level Integrative Studies.
The Thrust Level Groups conducts research on specific scenarios, projects, and technologies. Please refer to the Framework for Assessing the Implications of Emerging Technologies for Military Capability and National Security for a sample of how a scenario will be assessed.
High Level Integrative Studies
The High Level Integrative Studies, may draw on a number of different Thrust Level area results, and are conducted by teams under the guidance of the Consortium members as a whole.
