It is a flexible 523 00:21:35,790 --> 00:21:38,200 and responsive organization . It 524 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,720 leverages technology and science to 525 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,050 meet increasingly critical national 526 00:21:43,050 --> 00:21:45,170 security challenges and it could not 527 00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:48,850 have come at a better time . The United 528 00:21:48,850 --> 00:21:50,930 States faces a dynamic security 529 00:21:50,930 --> 00:21:53,550 environment . We continue to prioritize 530 00:21:53,550 --> 00:21:55,930 china as our pacing challenge even as 531 00:21:55,930 --> 00:21:58,160 we face advanced and persistent threats 532 00:21:58,170 --> 00:22:01,080 from Russia , Iran north Korea and 533 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,270 transnational and non state actors . 534 00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:06,050 Destabilizing actions threaten our 535 00:22:06,050 --> 00:22:08,370 critical infrastructure , undermine 536 00:22:08,370 --> 00:22:10,950 democratic institutions and seek to 537 00:22:10,950 --> 00:22:12,783 erode our military readiness and 538 00:22:12,783 --> 00:22:15,730 competitive advantage . This dynamic 539 00:22:15,730 --> 00:22:17,790 threat landscape requires the 540 00:22:17,790 --> 00:22:19,623 Department of Defense to conduct 541 00:22:19,623 --> 00:22:21,720 research , innovate and undertake 542 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,130 dynamic experimentation . Our list will 543 00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:28,100 enable us to do exactly this by 544 00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:30,740 applying multidisciplinary methods to 545 00:22:30,740 --> 00:22:32,629 include from social and technical 546 00:22:32,629 --> 00:22:35,040 sciences . Are lists will take a 547 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,670 strategic approach to innovation . It 548 00:22:37,670 --> 00:22:40,070 will focus on the protection of U . S . 549 00:22:40,070 --> 00:22:42,403 Technological , critical infrastructure , 550 00:22:42,403 --> 00:22:45,060 economic and people and information 551 00:22:45,060 --> 00:22:48,850 priorities . Even as we do so , we must 552 00:22:48,850 --> 00:22:51,300 continually anticipate how new 553 00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:53,590 technological capabilities might 554 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,290 embolden adversaries . Human and 555 00:22:57,290 --> 00:22:59,512 technological networks are increasingly 556 00:22:59,512 --> 00:23:02,110 interconnected While this increasing 557 00:23:02,110 --> 00:23:03,610 interconnectedness creates 558 00:23:03,610 --> 00:23:05,721 opportunities and benefits many of us 559 00:23:05,721 --> 00:23:08,040 live with those every day . We have to 560 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,010 be ever more cognizant that those 561 00:23:10,010 --> 00:23:11,730 benefits also come with new 562 00:23:11,730 --> 00:23:14,170 vulnerabilities and avenues of attack . 563 00:23:14,740 --> 00:23:17,250 We must better understand the human 564 00:23:17,260 --> 00:23:20,930 domain . We must ensure that we plan an 565 00:23:20,930 --> 00:23:23,760 account for both human strengths and 566 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,070 human limitations . Our list will meet 567 00:23:27,070 --> 00:23:29,320 this challenge by taking a human 568 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,240 centered approach to security and 569 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,650 intelligence matters . While the 570 00:23:33,650 --> 00:23:36,530 technology is important , our people 571 00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:39,600 are our frontline in every security and 572 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,878 intelligence mission that we undertake . 573 00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:45,390 That is why are less emphasis on human 574 00:23:45,390 --> 00:23:49,100 understanding is so important . The 575 00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:51,480 work that our list does will help the 576 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,630 department understand how best to 577 00:23:53,630 --> 00:23:55,880 protect our people from all kinds of 578 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,180 threats and to equip them with the 579 00:23:58,180 --> 00:24:00,140 training and tools they need to be 580 00:24:00,140 --> 00:24:03,410 successful more generally are less 581 00:24:03,410 --> 00:24:05,077 commitment and support to the 582 00:24:05,077 --> 00:24:07,188 innovation spirit that undersecretary 583 00:24:07,188 --> 00:24:09,490 Moultrie just spoke about will benefit 584 00:24:09,490 --> 00:24:12,140 the department .
