The experiments are mean to encourage prototyping and experimentation for joint war-fighting concepts, including \u201call-domain command and control\u201d as well as \u201ccontested logistics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe also plan to increase opportunities to include our allies and partners in these experiments,\u201d she said Monday during an event at the Carnegie Mellon University\u2019s Software Engineering Institute. \u201cThe first tranche of experiments that we\u2019re doing in FY23 has three projects that are joint \u2015 two with Australia and one with the U.K.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shyu last week established the U.S.\u2013 Israel Operations\u2015Technology Working Group, which is aimed at strengthening cooperation in defense-related science and technology efforts with the Israeli Defense Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments come amid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2021\/11\/02\/us-defense-allies-push-to-block-new-buy-american-boost\/\" target=\"_blank\">nervousness<\/a> from some allies and the U.S. defense industry over Democratic efforts to boost domestic manufacturing by strengthening \u201cBuy American\u201d requirements, which apply to about a third of the $600 billion in goods and services the federal government buys each year. Legally, more than two-dozen counties are exempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fall, the U.S., Australia and the U.K. announced a partnership, dubbed AUKUS, to help Australia build a nuclear-powered submarine. But beyond undersea technologies, AUKUS is intended to spur cooperation across new and emerging areas, like cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and quantum computing \u2015 all with an eye toward trilateral interoperability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon\u2019s own Defense Critical Supply Chain Task Force this summer recommended greater collaboration within the National Technology Industrial Base, which facilitates research, development and production of defense-related items within the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Monday, Shyu said she also outlined the Pentagon\u2019s tech priorities to defense firms large and small in order to guide their research and development investments. That includes trusted AI and autonomy, integrated networking of disparate systems, high-energy lasers to counter missiles, resilient space systems, affordable hypersonic weapons, and domestically sourced microelectronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shyu also touted Senate-passed legislation that directs $52 billion toward domestic semiconductor manufacturing \u2015 part of a $250 billon investment in a range of technologies. Called the \u201cU.S. Innovation and Competition Act,\u201d its semiconductor provisions would dovetail with Pentagon and other administration efforts meant to curb U.S. dependence on Chinese supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Pentagon positions for advanced materials and advanced computing are in a draft organizational chart for the research and engineering directorate, and Shyu said she plans to submit them this week to Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks. Shyu also said she is drafting a document outlining the Pentagon\u2019s tech development priorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. allies could receive invites to a future
