Department director of defense research and engineering for modernization provides update.
Mark Lewis, director of defense research and engineering for modernization at the Pentagon, provided an update on the Department of Defense’s modernization efforts during his keynote on day one of the AFCEA/GMU Critical Issues in C4I Symposium.
Lewis is focused on the modernization priorities that will inform the warfighter of the future and will set them up to be successful in the 5-, 10- and 15-year time horizons.
The priorities come from the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS). “I think it’s a marvelous document. It is in many respects the first national defense strategy that we’ve seen in a long time that actually is a strategy, that isn’t tactical but is strategic,†stressed Lewis.
