On November 19, 2025, the U.S. Department of War announced it has narrowed its technology development priorities to six critical areas. The chosen fields are applied artificial intelligence, biomanufacturing, contested logistics technology, quantum battlefield information dominance, scaled directed energy, and scaled hypersonics. Undersecretary of War for Research and Engineering, Emil Michael, said the focus is intended to accelerate the delivery of advanced systems to warfighters, noting that “the warfighter is not asking for results tomorrow; they need them today.” The announcement follows President Donald J. Trump’s 2025 AI Action Plan, which calls for rapid AI adoption to maintain global military preeminence. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the new focus will give U.S. forces a battlefield advantage and secure the nation’s technological dominance.
