New White House strategy clarifies military tech priorities: undersea, outer space and AI

The White House has introduced the National Security Science Technology Strategy (NSSTS) to clarify military technology priorities. The primary focus centers on AI, outer space, and undersea capabilities. Additionally, the NSSTS identifies quantum and biotech as critical second-tier or longer-term technologies for monitoring. While the strategy incorporates various provisions designed to encourage innovation, some analysts, including Patrick Tucker from Defense One, suggest that the current framework contains a glaring omission regarding its overall tech strategy.
