Integrating Innovation into U.S. Department of War Requirements Reform : RAND Corporation , March 25 , 2026
From the report: “Innovation that enhances warfighter capabilities is critically important to the U.S. Department of War (DOW). As DOW modernizes its joint requirements development system, which has long been criticized as cumbersome, antiquated, and an impediment to U.S. national security, the department has a generational opportunity to better align defense innovation with operational needs. In this report, RAND researchers examine how defense innovation can be effectively integrated into the reformed joint requirements system and identify how lessons from defense innovation organizations can inform and improve how requirements are developed and matured.”
