| Abstract: |
The article argues that the US must treat the development of STEM talent as a critical national security priority, requiring a coordinated strategy across the fragmented defense and industrial ecosystem. Topics include the current decentralized and ineffective workforce programs, analysis of systemic gaps and misperceptions; and models for building integrated public-private partnerships. |
