PRECISION STRIKE ANNUAL REVIEW (PSAR-17)

As our nation moves forward in the new strategic environment, the United States faces significant challenges to maintain our global leadership role both now and into the future. Increasingly complex cyberattacks from state and non-state actors, domestic and international terrorism, Russian aggression, Iranian nuclear ambitions, and Chinese military modernization are all cause for grave concern. In an era of constrained resources, and with the looming threat of sequestration, it is even more imperative today that we ensure that the Department of Defense has the systems it needs to effectively deter and decisively win future conflicts. This will undoubtedly require precision strike engagement across all spectrums of conflict. The Defense Industry team must continue our focus on developing new technologies for emerging capabilities, promoting innovative concepts and investing in critical technological modernization while refining our federal acquisition processes.
