Army Research and Development Plan

As detailed in the Army Modernisation Plan, Army modernisation is the transformation of the current Army into future Army such that Army remains a capable, credible and relevant force. Modernisation is achieved through a continuum of processes, decisions and actions. Modernisation includes the development and adoption of new concepts and doctrine, adaptation of force structures, and introduction and renewal of major systems, personnel policies and facilities. The Army Research and Development Plan is the foundation for the collection and development of decision support information to support Army modernisation.

The Army Research and Development plan has an enduring relevance to Army's modernisation processes. The Plan streamlines Army's research activities while providing enhanced accountability and transparency regarding decisions about future capability.

In the short-term, the Plan ensures Army's continued relevance in the current operating environment and informs strategic perspectives of the future operating environment. The medium- and long-term implications include the establishment of benchmarks around research lines of effort and allow Army to chart its modernisation initiatives' progress. The Research and Development Plan will allow Army to remain at the forefront of evolution and revolution in land warfare to enhance detection and mitigation of potential strategic shock.
