Domain strategy | Shaping Defence Science and Technology in the Maritime Domain: 2016 - 2026

Shaping Defence Science and Technology in the Maritime Domain: 2016 — 2026 is the inaugural Defence maritime science and technology strategy. It outlines future areas of focus for Defence capability and objectives, and identifies which areas of science and technology have the potential to support their development. To achieve this, consideration has been given to strategic guidance, changes in the maritime operational environment, and current maritime science and technology support to Defence. This document should be used to inform and shape future science and technology capabilities.

This document represents long-term guidance. Guidance to prioritise and shape the in-year program is delivered through the individual domain Science and Technology Requirements and Priorities documents and the DST Group Domain Planning Guidance documents.

Shaping Defence Science and Technology in the Maritime Domain: 2016 — 2026 was endorsed by the Navy Capability Committee on 22 September 2015.
