Two new challenges added this year focus on technological dominance and data as a strategic asset. Tech like hypersonics, microelectronics, AI, 5G and biotechnology were also highlighted.
The Defense Department faces three new major management challenges heading into fiscal year 2021, and two out of the three deal directly with technology and information issues.
